Artist Statement
My paintings emerge from a place where contradictions are allowed,paradox reigns and reason is abandoned. My search is for the inherent radiance in all things… the extraordinary in the ordinary.
As the process of painting parallels the movement of psyche, it helpsme to understand the world as a deeper reality. The rich soul experiences of my life become tangible.
Each painting is a small acknowledgment of the inner life that can perhaps reveal its own share of soul, and that share of soul may connect to someone else’s share of soul.
Then perhaps beauty may be granted.
