It is the unremarkable elements of everyday life that inspire my art.  The beauty of the mundane and the relevance of the ordinary: a coffee press never used, plants seen on the same daily walk, an elegant metal clip, deer and fish reimagined as mermaids.  Through my art, I strive to portray my awe in this sacred banality and my reality of imagination.

In this reality, line and color dominate as I oscillate between intuition and planning when applying them.  My lines seal up the edges while the color releases the light.  Childish energy and freedom guide my lines and the vibrance of Fauvist-like colors fill and overfill those lines.

Creating art is a compulsion, no different than the need for food, sleep, shelter, or sex.  I will always attend to this driving urge which compels me to find new ways to birth into this world the light, darkness, and twilight of my awareness.
