ARTIST STATEMENT

I would like my work to serve as a break from reality as we know it. I invite the viewer to share a dance between time and space, to revel in wonder, and to enjoy the colors and textures of nature and light. What can't we see with human vision? Visible light is a fraction of energy we see on the electromagnetic spectrum, which leads me to further explore the vast representations of colors in space.

Combining layers of pointillism and abstraction, I look to capture the expression of fleeting light and tranquility of mind and space. Light and movement are my favorite subjects to capture.
