I wish to express my relationship with the world through painting. I specifically try to portray the way I perceive light and sound as it moves through space, as well as an obvious love of bright color. I paint abstract and figurative works on canvas in an acrylic impasto style. But my art is not simply about arriving at and admiring a final product. I am very much immersed in the process and struggle of creation.
I believe that humans should create daily. We should be building, digging, writing, singing, sculpting, or cooking a perfect meal! There is something therapeutic and transcendental in the creative process. Sometimes I think it’s cortisol release, other times I'm sure I'm communing with the universe. In any case, I know am addicted to the dreamlike feeling I arrive at after uninterrupted hours of painting. Leaving the studio, I have processed many unrelated thoughts while seemingly thinking of nothing but color and shape. My goal is to inspire others to engage their subconscious through art.
