Bio: My work is a contemporary statement of my perception of Inner and outer space juxtaposing with the time and space of every life experience. Incorporate into my creations visual, emotional and psychological impressions of urban tension. Among the raw emotions and harsh realities experienced there the scenario is tempered with gentle optimism and beauty.

IN creating art, the most satisfying way I find to paint is the combination of the abstract and the figure. The freedom of abstraction and the emotions that the figure can carry, with the symbolic potential of the objective world are endless. The possibilities that abstraction presents in suggesting the unknown is almost magical. My paintings operate and hover visually somewhere between abstraction and the cognitive world, between the unknown and the known. The works often begin with a general idea that might be reflecting on. My reactions to cultural and personal events of Inner and outer Spaces associated with our lives, thoughts, memories, and imaginations is paramount to the success of my paintings and sculptures. I translate these reactions into works made up of simplified forms, often with outsized proportions, to transcend time and space.

My goal is to leave cognitive space for viewers to fill in. I want my work to provide a chance to see things from different perspectives with the dimensions of the pieces viewers to become conscious of the physical relationship to the objects and scale proportion, and humanity to elicit an
emotional and intellectual response in my viewers. Painting is a wondrous journey for me.
