Artist's Statement

My paintings are intended to push the limits of the imagination with bold color, strong line, and fiery strokes. I use lines in my paintings as visual representations of the thread that spiritually connects us to one another and all that is living. I use color as a signifier for the people of the world, and as a catalyst for healing the effects of racism and separatism. In painting in this fashion, my mission is to pull viewers into a bigger picture, beyond themselves, in order to realize our original connection. I paint from my heart and soul, and I know that I am merely a vehicle for the expressions of the creator of all. Media include paint, textiles, paper, canvas, ink, pastels, graphite, stone, wood, glass, plastic, metal, sand and found objects.
