BraveHeart "So many burdens carried, and challenges overcome…these everyday heroes we pass by or spend time with. Honoring human resiliency and fortitude. Continuing to walk, to be... Living life fully, come what may. Life is too short...and it is too sweet not to keep walking, despite the trials or pain." Background and Reflections: Sometimes, less is more. In this case, I wanted to portray courage and someone bold enough to be walking towards us...defying the space in which she exists. This heart of this painting was the story related to me by a dear woman who was abused as a young girl. I had known her for a few years when she shared that story, and I was dumbfounded and then awestruck. Her joy and beautiful character had somehow triumphed over those frightful experiences and memories. I felt chills at her strength and loved her even more for that inner beauty which she shared with all around her. That inner light and resilient purity inspired me to paint and then paint over my expressive marks and an under-painting that had many colors - representative of masked or controlled emotions and memories. She, as with most of my figures, are unfinished as they stand or move through their own time and space in their own way. In the unfinished lies beauty and reality. Everything is relative. This strong and brave heart is representative of dozens or hundreds of other strong and beautiful women I am privileged to know. Their courage inspires me and sets a good example for me. (Thank you, BraveHearts.) Our legacy is being written as we walk.

PHILOSOPHY: In imperfection, lies reality, beauty, and character. As a visual artist, my work examines and responds to the notion of narrative and the interplay between singularity and universality in storytelling. The more personal the story, the more universal its message. Focusing on the imperfect in a world that embraces limited or constrictive definitions of beauty, my goal is to challenge those definitions and perceptions. My hope is that I influence a change of mindset wherein beauty truly is redefined in the eye of each beholder. Unique beauty lies beneath the surface of every individual. - STATEMENT: I create abstract assemblages in shape, color, and line. Finding beauty in the unfinished, my work focuses on relationship dynamics and every-day or chance encounters as they impact identity. With intuition and investigative precision, I explore the energy, motivations, chemistry, and undercurrents between individuals - from the inside, out. My creative process involves building a character in layers, mimicking the way in which identities are formed throughout a lifetime: layer by colorful or complex layer. I let the form and placement of figures and shapes imply subsurface content and emotion. Focused on transience and imperfection, some common themes that run through my work are telling the unknown or hidden stories. - APPROACH: My creative approach parallels my analytical process in that my goal is to try to figure out or resolve challenging situations, encounters, experiences, or relationships. As a result, the beginning phases of new paintings can often appear explosive, congested, chaotic, or seemingly overflowing in conflicting colors and content. These expressionistic elements are integral to the entirety of a piece, providing layers and much of the substrata and undercurrents that need to be emphasized or masked in later stages of the creative process. In later stages my creative process transitions from largely intuitive to a dance between the objective and subjective perspectives in the editing phase, where I construct, deconstruct, reveal, or mask details as needed, weaving a metaphorical interpretation of experiences, while leaving each work enigmatic enough to invite viewers to engage. - FOCUS: My art honors survival and the individual spirit and history of people as they coexist, survive, and interact.
