Artist Statement 

My current paintings and mixed media collages incorporate layered shapes, gestures and forms that are inspired from many different sources. It can be cultural, political, environmental or purely abstract ideas and express a visual narrative that comes from life experiences. This narrative can also reflect associations and surreal metaphors from nature.

Ideas further develop within the process, and I often use recognizable imagery with invented abstract forms to enhance and create a visual tension to the work. Color is used as an expressive element that contributes further to the paintings. Throughout the process, as each piece gathers complexity, I strive for the work to become a complete world unto itself.
