Artist Statement:
I love color and the wonderful array of emotions that just a few pigments can bring to life. The colors, textures, and techniques that I use in my paintings most often come about as my curiosity runs loose while I experiment in my studio. I work purely on instinct and trust as I interact with the changes taking place on the canvas. Seldom is a painting completed without several “what ifs” and “why nots”. Many of my favorite results include the “happy accidents” that unexpectedly occur. I would like the viewer to have the same sense of excitement and wonder as they contemplate my finished work.
While searching for a way to regain my health after years of near-constant migraine pain, I discovered that the more time I spent with art, the fewer headaches I had. Realizing the positive changes that art was having on my life, I soon decided to become a full-time working artist. That decision was the starting point to many synchronicities that occurred, all leading me to take Joseph Campbell’s advice and “follow my bliss” into the art world. With a degree in Mathematics and a career in computer programming, becoming an artist was not something I had ever considered. But as time goes by, I see that working abstractly, continually searching for the simplest form and finding truth are all fundamental elements in both Mathematics and Art. But Art can truly steal your heart.
