I am an American (NH, USA) fine artist recognized for my colorful and expressive abstract paintings.
Intuition leads my artistic process, as I manipulate layers of mixed media, color, line and form to create space, motion, and emotion.
Although I paint from imagination without reference, my paintings often have identifiable objects, such as floral bouquets, figures, or landscapes; and relatable subjects that we share, such as joy, love, life, family, whimsy and the freedom to create.
“I’m an abstract thinker and an expressive painter.
I don’t paint flowers, I paint flower shapes.”
Moments of self-reflection, experiences of life, and love for neighbor are conveyed through my use of strokes, imagery, media and substrate. I intend to cause pause, curiosity, connection, and levity of spirit.
end.
