Weaving between abstraction and subject my paintings hint at something more than the physical representing our complex relationship with nature and with ourselves. My work is driven by the desire to express emotion and by my love of color and all its possibilities. The landscape has become the subject for this exploration because nature has been my refuge, solace and companion since I was a child. Each painting must have a ‘voice’ -something it is trying to say. Through the painting process I become aware of the deep places within me that are becoming a part of the painting. Life demands that we embody joy and sorrow simultaneously. Therefore, I seek to reflect this in my work.
