I've been told that I don't have to over-explain my abstract work and while I do believe that visual art can communicate so much more - from my soul to yours, than my words ever could, I also want you to connect with my work. I want it to be accessible and relatable, no matter what background you come from.
 
To that end, I'll tell you this: my abstract work is very process driven and intuitive, but it carries in it the tensions of life. I paint the heaviness I feel in the world around me and in me and I also paint the hope I feel for something better. I believe there is more to life than what meets the eye. I want to communicate that feeling through color, line movement, texture, layers, and more.
 
More than any other possession, art is the one thing that brings joy to a home or workplace. Each time I look at art, I feel joy, connection, hope, and sometimes catharsis. I very much hope that my artwork does the same for you.
