STATEMENT: My abstract mixed media paintings and digital graphics an exploration into the primal or essential language of nature. Finding the perfect balance between shape, color, surface, and structure is always a challenge and an emotional struggle. The inspiration comes from small artifacts I collect on walks or trips. My approach is process driven, rooted in imagination, emotion, and intuition, revealing a language deeper than words: textures, symbols, shapes, lines, memories and gestures which map a passage through time. Sometimes in the silence, there is a moment of harmony when colors, lines and I understand each other perfectly, and each one of us knows exactly what the other wants to do.
