ARTIST STATEMENT
My paintings are currently abstract and intuitive. They get deliberate and intentional as they progress; focusing on composition and color. As in life, much is unseen - the passage of time, spaces overlapping, meanings of events, present intermingling with past and future. My work is multilayered - ambiguous and meant to be interpreted by the viewer. I'm told it feels happy; I hope it cheers you!
