Artist’s Statement
As a painter, I create art that reflects the sensitivity, fragility, and uplifting emotions of life. My paintings are full of feeling and inner self, with structures that symbolize the cities and vistas that have inspired me throughout my life. Sometimes nature-based elements or shapes may appear in my art, sometimes not so much.

My process is highly intuitive, with no specific plan but a deep sense of feeling to guide me. I begin by drawing intuitive lines with different drawing materials to activate the canvas, adding layers of paint and mark making until I have a composition that feels right. Throughout the refining process, I go back and forth between intuitive painting and rational thinking, using both left and right brain to create a final product that reflects the joy, hope, and color that I want to bring into people's lives.
Using archival and artist-quality materials, all of my work is varnished with UV protectant to ensure its longevity. I want my viewers to experience my art freely, beyond preconceived judgments of reality, and with their own internal interpretations. My goal is to give them a glimpse of joy, happiness, hope, and color to their life and surroundings, lifting them up with my authentic expressionist abstract paintings.

All works can be purchased by contacting the Greenwich Art society at 203-629-1533 between 10:30 am and 4 PM Monday through Friday or by emailing admin@greenwichartsociety.org
