I have always communicated through storytelling. Finding the act of painting a sensual medium, I work to transform canvas or paper into a conduit that follows a stream of consciousness. Candidly penetrating my personal life, all of my subjects convey a range of intense emotions. ‘Art is not self-evident’: my goal is for people to relate on their own terms. Painting by instinct, my techniques are not formulaic in nature. There are no rules to be broken except the ones I create. Shading and details occur organically as my vision takes shape. Often, I experiment with texture by the use of of broken jewelry, beads and sequins. Recently I accepted a personal challenge to forgo a rainbow palette for a monochromatic look. My gray, blue, red and purple series explore a contemplative message of pain, disappointment, renewal and self-reflection. The limited pigments stretch my abilities to convey a story or message.
