Bio:

“I was told by a mentor and teacher that there are two types of artists; natural and learned. It has taken me a lifetime to learn that I am a natural artist. The kind that picks up things and thinks, "I wonder what this will do."I mix my own paints and add different additives or mediums to create different viscosity and pour it onto the canvas. I use a blow torch, forks, straws, paint brushes, fingers...whatever is handy. I'm intrigued by what materials do when they organically repel instead of blend.

Most often my visual inspiration comes from astronomy images of distant galaxies and solar systems or nature; organic images like glaciers, forests, and oceans that make you look deeper and try to make sense of its beauty. Music also inspires me to be creative. It can put me in a mood that I associate with colors. Deep, vibrant colors are full of passion and molten emotion. I like my pieces to have texture and movement. I also like my artwork to have complexities that take you years to see yet a moment to feel.”
