My paintings appear sculptural
but are flat and mount onto the wall
and sometimes even onto the floor.

When I draw, I’m excited to put
graphite to paper and experience
every mark. The graphite is an
extension of my hand and my mind.
My drawings are big with naturally
evolving abstract marks that interact
with designed shapes and elements.

The different mediums dictate distinct
imagery. Oil paint yields masses of color.
Graphite lends itself to intricate marks.
My drawings and paintings vibrate with
a life of their own. These breathing,
pulsating entities go beyond
line, shape, and color.

The abstract shapes and imagery
promote a sense of freedom to
interpret the work personally.
