My abstract acrylic paintings explore aspects of nature.
Images evolve as emotional reflections of my subject.
The process of painting is immediate and tactile.
I build structures and deconstruct layers of paint in
a dynamic process.
Bold textures and flowing paint coexist in my art.
Created in a spontaneous and intuitive process
my work challenges to look past the obvious.
Artworks are collected nationally and internationally,
many paintings have found permanent homes in
United States, Canada, Australia, United Arab Emirates,
Great Britain and in Europe.
