ARTIST STATEMENT

   Over the past twelve years, I’ve been working with acrylic paint, ink, pencil and mixed media. During this time period, I was inspired by an assortment of topics, while repeating one of my mainstay topics, music, and culture. I enjoy creating in the moment, because it allows the intuitive sensibilities too be part of the process.    I bring an eclectic aesthetics with me into the studio, which I transfer into what I create, and share with the audience. My passion and emotions, guided by my skill set, is what I aspire to transfer, visually to the viewer, through the media.
