Statement

My work is about finding my truth….using light to illuminate the darkness of silence.

Drawing from a wellspring of curiosity and a perpetual ‘what if…?’ mindset, my work manifests as abstract expressive painting, reflecting a kind of internal self- portrait.

I start by covering the whole surface with dark color, bringing in light values as determined by my intuition. A finished painting offers a blend of transparent and opaque colors which work together to create a sense of depth, mystery and atmosphere.

This interplay between darkness and light, mystery and clarity, invites the viewer to delve into their own interpretation of my work.
