My goal is to take the viewer from how they usually see the world to one in which color can infuse new energy into the ordinary and elevate mood. It is a world that is influenced by my colorful tropical surroundings where magnificent gardens, created with bold and evocative colors, can emerge simply from a daily practice of taking a brush, paper, and glue to canvas.
The relationship between artistic elements and mood has always been a driver for my colorful and positive imagery. I view my art practice as a creative journey and rely heavily on the ability of color and the act of creating art to see me through new challenges. It is my ultimate goal that the viewer will internalize that positive energy as well.
I employ a creative process that combines the logic of piecing together collage materials with the freedom of intuition as a guide. The application of paper, paint, and other mediums allows me to achieve a textural and tactile experience, with color serving to evoke feelings and emotions that convey the positive spirit that I work to infuse in the art I create.
