About Me	"Artist Statement" The greatest inspiration for my painting comes from my most colorful memories, emotional pain, and my day to day life. At times, when I close my eyes very tightly, the colors and form magically appear in my head. I work with layers of thick and thin color, all adding to an eventual sense of accumulation. I paint from the subconscious so there is no real plan in my work. My method primarilly involves the layering of color, which often causes the work to grow organically.

There is nothing more satisfying to me, than to express my individuality on my canvasses. When I see people looking at my art, I feel that there is an opportunity for them, as the viewer, to get a glimpse into my soul. This makes me feel that my creation has purpose.....(read more)
