When the paint hits the brush and the brush fits in my hand just right and every stroke puts color just as I wanted it to land...those are the days I know I am really putting 'me' into the work and out there into the world. I don't consider the story of a painting ever done. I may be done with the paints and brush strokes, but each time it is seem by a new person the story of that painting comes alive again.

I spend a considerable amount of time trying to decide which way is up for my paintings! But that is one of best things about this work for me. 

A great deal of my inspiration comes from finding beauty and symmetry in a chaotic world. Natural patterns, geometry and layers upon layers of color. I admire the great works of Matisse, Picasso, Warhol, Basquiat, De Kooning as well as street artists, muralists and other less than mainstream talents. I'm honored that my work can be found in private collections throughout the United States.
