Artist Statement
My works content grows from my life experiences. Its aim is to capture memories and impressions from my life, travels, and surroundings. As an artist I experiment with materials. Oil paint, watercolor, and oil pastels are vehicles for my expression. I focus on vivid and embellished color, textures, and contrast. Most recently I have been inspired by the elegance of betta fish, their relatively simple lives, and the metaphor they hold for the human existence. The themes of journey, movement, progress, and change are motifs I contimually investigate. I strive to tell a story in each painting and I hope to communicate my ideas in new and inspiring ways.
