Be here now, another way of reminding me to be in this moment. My painting is my way of being in the moment - allowing the process to guide me. I prefer to improvise rather than plan my work ahead of time. I am interested in seeing what happens if I do this, or that. Uncertainty is challenging but can be exciting. It keeps my work fresh.

When asked, “What is beauty?” Gregory Bateson answered "Recognition of the pattern which connects.” Ultimately, I would like to connect with others through the recognition of my pattern.
