“I love color! Light and dark, vibrant or dull, subtle or harsh - I love it all! The exuberance of working with luscious color palettes drives me wild. My process involves merging inspiration with emotion to create original works that resonate with people. When I see a captivating artwork or even an intricate pattern on a simple piece of fabric I am flooded with fresh ideas and a new artistic vision. I use this "aha moment" to create a unique color palette, which I then take to the canvas. The movement and composition of the painting changes and unravels dramatically as I add new elements and eliminate others. The painting and I are in deep dialogue. This intrinsic dialogue allows me to decipher the essence of each piece and create works that pull the viewer into the world of color that I love so much, and makes life so much more vibrant for us all.”
