Personal Statement
I am an abstract painter who loves watching the various interpretations viewers bring to the same piece. Art has become a form of meditation for me, as I zone out from the world and delve into the process. I describe myself as a colorist, playing with colors in my work to achieve a comprehensive finished piece. I gravitated towards two mediums, (pastels and oils) with pastels I search for an ethereal and peaceful tone while when using oils the results emerge with an energetic and dynamic organic quality. My road to art has been lifelong, but interrupted with the calls of career and family. After years of working in the IT and financial fields, I was able to go back to my first love — the arts. After my children neared college age, I was able to focus great time toward my development and began more formal training in art school. The classes I took reignited my passion for creativity, allowing art to become my outlet of spontaneous self expression, ultimately becoming my focus on color through pastels and oils.
