Painting is my therapy. It is the place I go to release and feel safe. No pressures. No judgements. No second guessing. I am able to work intuitively, allowing the colors, shapes, lines and thoughts to flow freely until an image appears. What comes up and out are memories, conversations, chance meetings, childhood, love, and loss.

But what does it all mean? It means I’m human and I feel. It means that with every painting I make, I condense multiple experiences from across my life time onto a rectangle using oil paints, brushes, and turpentine. It means my spirit, heart, and mind can release abstract thought and emotions and bring them to some kind of tangible product to view. But mostly it means I create space to continue creating. This river runs deep.
