Flying, falling, floating, fitting in or not are the themes expressed in my art. Abstract and figurative, the visual stories are my reflections, reactions to our society…personal to me, while universal at the same time.

 

My goal is to create a feeling of dichotomy and tension.  A dream-like dissonance with a sense of mystery opens my work to personal interpretation and provokes thought and dialogue.

 

I have always worked in series and sequences, on multiple images at a time…segments creating a whole.

 

Every medium, whether oil, acrylic, monotype or encaustic brings another dimension to my work. The lusciousness of paint and painting is an integral part of my process.
