Connecting small and large shapes, dramatic colors, with random discoveries inspire my work while desiring to create a piece that pulls people into the journey. I also love the velvety textures of pastels as a newly discovered medium I intend to explore extensively. My style varies from impressionistic realism to abstraction. It’s especially exciting to me to allow the painting to discover itself through manipulation of products and surfaces. I have a plan but thrive in the journey of the painting revealing itself.
