I love nature and painting about it. To me, color represents emotion. It's through emotion that allows me to create an expressive language through painting and drawing. One way I do this is by pushing two opposing parts of a painting at the same time. For instance, painting in broad strokes, abstract colors, and irregular shapes to show implied detail in the subject matter I choose to capture revealing an impressionistic aesthetic.
