I started painting to reveal my soul, aid in my self-discovery, and color my world beyond imagination.
When I picked up a paintbrush for the first time and touched it to a blank canvas, paint exploded in a fantasy of color, forms, and textures – electric blue swirls at first, and then purples and reds. My use of color immediately became the foundation for my art. I quickly learned how color illustrates emotions and feelings.
As a contemporary artist, my portraits capture hidden pieces of the human experience, exposing parts of ourselves that we regularly keep hidden. Abstract pieces allow me to express openness and creativity freely.
Lately, I have been adding color to my artwork with oil pastels.
Creating art is an exuberant experience that gives me pleasure. I love finding the truth through artistic expression. The movement of paint or any form of art reveals our true nature, and, like many artists before me, I benefit from art’s healing powers.
