Dancing in the moonlight - ABSTRACT LARGE print on canvas Print - Limited Edition of 50

The theme of my work is analyzing feelings and emotions, expressing them with colors and images. For me, art is a way to speak without saying a word. A way to shout across continents and cross borders, all without leaving my studio. Art knows no borders, for it transcends the pettiness of politics. My work allows me to be understood by others despite speaking or writing a different language, because art is the common language of humanity. Creativity is freedom. The freedom of the soul. Art does not simply reflect the world around us, it can be used to alter our world, even shaping entirely new worlds drawn solely from the imagination of the artist. Do not worry if you think you do not understand art. Art is not something you understand with your mind, but experience with your heart and soul. In a world where we are besieged by stress on all sides, we often find ourselves hiding our feelings not only from each other, but from ourselves as well. In my work, I remind others it is okay to have feelings; to express them and share them with those around you. I study all facets of experience and sensation, listening to the voices of both society and myself, looking deep inside to uncover the most closely guarded feelings and emotions. In my work I do not attempt to copy precise images like a printing press. I use simplified forms and silhouettes to convey emotion through colors, leaving room for the viewer’s own imagination to evoke feelings unique to them. Life itself is an inspiration. The diversity caused by the interweaving of emotions and experiences, whether positive or negative, creates a tapestry that is a wonder to behold. Life, all life, is beautiful. It is the most valuable gift one can ever receive.
