I create both
representational and non-objective art in a variety of media. Imagination is
crucial to all the work, which include meditational reveries and images
regarding the flow of consciousness -- the going in and out of
dreams. Recent works relate to the flow of time passing, and works in
progress explore "Breaking Free." What characterizes all my output is
my love of color and my joy in using it to manipulate space. I try to create an
ambiguity which draws the viewer into my world.
