Artist Statement
I explores how colours and spaces can evoke a sense of beginnings, of potentiality and of stories coming into being and dissolving simultaneously.
I apply colors and delve into their sensuality and their effects on my psyche. While exploring the various spaces, I leave behind a road map of experiences that occurred along the way. I energize the surface until I feel as if the paint is pushed up towards me and the space between the painting and my eyes is alive. My intent usually is to avoid concrete imagery so that viewers will develop their own unique relationship with a painting.
