Statement

Currently, I paint in full colors that are mix in different tones and movement.  As I paint, I am freely creating directly on canvas different shapes or brush strokes as I go.  I work with acrylic paints in colors, metallics and sometimes sand materials.  It is not necessarily my intention to paint in abstract shapes or forms, but sometimes one form starts one way then changes appears and I follow the direction it is taking me.

I am inspired by nature, colors and people, which is reflective in some of my work.  In my abstract work, I feel these pieces are unexpected; brush strokes that depicts a creature or two are the most surprising pieces that I have done.
