My art comes from that place of no thought-total absorption in the act of doing without contemplation or planning. The fun is in allowing the creativity to flow-from my heart and soul-from my love for color, drama, fantasy and whimsy. For me painting is about putting color and form to paper to express feelings and ideas. I never know what will awaken out of the empty white or a form already painted. The picture paints itself and finds its own balance and resolution. Groups of people appear-ones that are not often depicted in art or photography- and tell me their stories.
My work explores how individuality is challenged by relationships, how relationships pressure us to conform and how we respond to these demands.
