We're All Fine Here Painting

On the most basic human level, what we’re always trying to share with others is our feelings. And for me, I’ve always seen my feelings in color which is why painting has always been such an integral part of my life. That feeling of release when I move the paint across a canvas is a freedom like no other, like letting out a visceral scream, so therapeutic and raw. Using that emotion fills my work with an energy that speaks to people and the experiences they’ve been through and expresses what not all of us have the ability to express through words. It gives me permission, in my paintings, to be all that I am and all that I want to be, without judgement. Painting not only allows me to connect with myself but with all those who are also seeking freedom from themselves or others in their life, and those who are still trying to be understood and hoping to be seen. My artwork always seems to find its way into the souls of those who have been through hard times, looking for someone to understand them, and those who have felt they’ve lost their own connections. When I hear their words of relief and resonance, it makes every drop of paint worth the journey, and I am incredibly grateful.
