Artist Statement:

I paint, draw and write to get ideas out of my head … otherwise they rattle around up there and occupy the late hours. Not all of them are good ideas, and many of them are, in fact, terrible. But painting has always been my way of finishing a thought or placing meaning to an emotion. It’s a freeing process for me to develop an idea and see it through from inception to something that others can experience. The funny thing is, I think I have a way with words, but I have rarely been able to adequately communicate the swirling thoughts and feelings that fill up my headspace every night. Those are my emotions up there, they are my aspirations, my history, happiness and pain. All of it … my desire, passion, dissension and given grace ... my misgivings, doubts and overwhelming insecurity, are consummation pent up – waiting to be shared with you. In short, it’s therapy. It’s way for me to meditate. It’s a way for me to be able to accept life on life’s terms.
