IN THE ARTIST'S WORDS
I find a voice in art that allows expression and a healthy escape from daily life. While it does provide challenges with every brush stroke, it is a safe place to experiment and explore. Painting provides a rhythm to a daily routine that requires stability and focus.
My professional daily life is made of imagining and designing environments for clients. Challenging and exciting. However, my paintings aren't confined to clients wishes, engineering, deadlines and budget. This freedom can be revealing and intimidating, yet brings a thrill that I enjoy.
