Capturing emotion is everything! I achieve this by incorporating color, energy and texture into my work. Inspired by music I choose the emotion or energy I want to convey in a painting. The subject matter is often related to strength and vulnerability. I strive to convey the power we each possess, but sometimes forget, as a reminder that we can overcome any struggles we encounter in this life. My paintings begin with a charcoal sketch, and are then finished with layers of different mediums and many layers of paint. They can best be described as contemporary Impressionism. The purpose of my work is very simple. I hope that when looking at my paintings, viewers can find strength and inspiration for every day life. My artwork is unique, sometimes quirky and thought provoking.
