The ABSTRACT Artist

"Only through Art can stories be captured without words”

Life stories of pain, isolation, Joy, unity, hope. I am always intrigued by the effects of cultural and societal messages on evryday life. I seek through my practice, and each series that I create, whether figurative or abstract to explore the impact of these messages through my choice of surfaces, textures and forms. I evoke bold or monochromatic colors to command the attention of the viewer. Heavy pigmented acrylic applied over a textured surface on thick watercolor paper or canvas most on a large scale permeate my most recent practice. This includes several series dominated by collage work using fabric or periodicals and the occasional use of pastels, paintmarkers, gel paints and india inks for detail and additional texture.

I wake to create art.  My work is unique. My style is individual. Creating abstract mixed media pieces that dance with textures of soft vibrant hues. 

“An incurable optimist my practice portray the stories of cultural and societal life as I encounter it and interpret it, unstructured and undisciplined and when it speaks to your conscious, heart or soul my story with you is a success”

An accomplished artist living in Riverside, California. I love to travel, snow ski, fish, write poetry, speaking and dance. I just love life and feel humbled by the Gift of Art.
