ARTIST STATEMENT:
I paint to transcribe my boundless enthusiasm for form and color.
My brush strokes are rapid and gestural. I scratch into paint, employ squiggles and energetic lines to encourage tempo and rhythm. My work articulates movement, kinetic growth, conversations between shapes. A thriving metamorphosis that continually changes with layer upon layer of paint.
As a practicing therapist and a painter, I seek to discern myriad visceral emotions through color. In bringing color and form to the canvas, I am inviting a dialogue. Perhaps the viewer and the painting will together decipher, throw light on, the language of emotion through color.
