I paint the spirit and energy of life in rhythmic layers of color. I personify nature and evoke a range of moods with a touch of mystery. I use symbolic visual language to explore the visible and invisible, creating a commentary on relationships and thoughts. I paint images flowing from gathered memories across a lifetime of travel and experiences. I build layers that make connections, and a story unfolds. The work evolves and has a history of stories interwoven in the layers, some of which I reveal using sgraffito. Each work of art is a journey of exploration.
