As an abstract- impressionist artist, I aim to evoke profound emotions in the viewers by capturing my own emotions and reflections on concepts such as nature as a healer, universal connectedness through relationships, family as lifelines, and the larger community as a vital support system. Most importantly, I explore the uniqueness and sameness of our human experience, emphasizing that we all share the same feelings and desires.

My art is about channeling my subconscious and conscious thoughts and feelings in the moment, creating most of my artwork spontaneously. I call it “spilling my being on canvas via my artistic energies.” Typically, I have no preconceived plans or sketches. I stand next to my canvas and go with the flow, guided by my inner calling. I pick colors that resonate with me in the moment and use my hands, brushes, or knives as directed by my intuition. I let the process unfold until something emerges that captures my attention. From this point onward in the art’s progression, I develop the painting based on what has become visible to my mind’s eye, understanding the message the Universe is communicating through the art piece. Sometimes, the vision and message shift midway, causing art to change direction as well. This technique infuses my artwork with authenticity and distinct energy, capturing motion, emotions, and my personal interpretation of the world.

Ultimately, my goal is to portray my internal visions and external life experiences in a way that resonates deeply with my audience. I hope to invite them on a journey of contemplation and self-reflection, encouraging them to read their own thoughts, visions, and emotions into the piece they are viewing, thus making it their own.
