ARTIST STATEMENT

 

My abstract paintings are a dance of elements – a brush stroke here, a shape there, a line – a dot – a mix of colors. It is not a picture “of” something – it is a representation of the unity of everything – how everything comes together, how it comes apart, and how it comes back together. It is music. It is a dance.
