Emotions influence all of my work. I paint what I feel and not what I see.
My paintings are process oriented beginning with journaling and mark making,
obliterating and adding marks to the surface before moving on to paint. Working on several
paintings at once, I move slowly through the process, allowing the painting to take its own course.

I have discovered over the years, that by being fully engaged and giving up control, magic happens. Self expression, using marks on the many layers and leaving little imperfections, adds character and strength to my work.

It is through these emotions that I connect with the public on an intimate level.
