Artist statement
I enjoy making art. I am always energized and amazed at what can be created from a blank piece of paper or canvas. The process, the transformation from idea to art, that's what I love. I have enjoyed being a professional artist for over 25 years. I have worked as a fine art painter and a graphic designer since graduating college with a bachelor of fine arts degree. I maintain a home studio and freelance graphic design business. Although I use a variety of art media, I concentrate on water media, specifically watercolor, acrylic and casein. My work explores the themes of nature, architecture and the human form. I enjoy using paint to express the abstract forms found in representational images. My subject matter becomes the framework within which I play with value, shape and color.
