Painting is my favorite nonverbal communication. I want my work to speak for itself – even when I’m not near the piece.

I like acrylic paint because it’s versatile and fast. I can put down my thoughts in tones and colors before I forget. I can add details, make corrections or erase unwanted factors…I can play with concepts and cerebral texture. Acrylic, as a medium, can be manipulated to create a variety of interesting sensory responses.

I love using light as a focal point to create an atmosphere of vitality and hope in various settings. I’d like for observers to be attracted to the light and then choose to look deeper. The nuances of my work is often unintentional on my part – like subconscious thoughts. I want witnesses to look at familiar themes or objects and see them anew…perhaps discovering in their soul unexpected hope or inspiration.
