My work is a contemporary statement through the perception on Inner and outer space juxtaposing with time and space of life experiences. I incorporate visual, emotional and psychological impressions of urban tension, raw emotions and harsh realities tempered with gentle optimism and beauty seeking t h e combination of objective an d n on objective serves a s matrix between nature and mankind. celebrating the transformation of surface, the spontaneous act of aesthetics and artistic expression become living imagery in a joy of color and above all the creative energy of life.

By creating art for me the most satisfying way of working is the combination of the abstract and the figure. The freedom of abstraction and the emotions that the figure can carry with t h e symbolic potential of the objective world and t h e possibilities abstraction presents in suggesting the unknown . My paintings operate somewhere between abstraction and the cognitive world, between the known and the unknown. My goal is to leave a cognitive space for viewers to fill in. I want my work to provide a chance to see things from different perspectives with the dimensions of the pieces viewers to become conscious of their physical relationship to the objects and scale proportion and humanity to elicit an emotional and intellectual response in my viewers.

Art has always been an important part of my life. BFA and MFA Post graduated continued practice as Visual artist and educator. I live and work in Maryland, USA. with lifelong artistic career in various areas and influences that run deep, travelled internationally, has been represented by various Galleries and has successfully held extensive exhibitions nationally and internationally.
Painting is a wondrous journey for me.
