Artist Statement

My work stems from the experimentation with light. I explore the
beauty of light, color and texture on different surfaces including
glass, canvas, wood and paper. My diverse work includes abstract
figures, realistic portraiture and close-up views of nature.

Much of my artistic inspiration comes from traveling to Europe,
Africa and the Canary Islands. My series entitled Faces of Africa
includes five charcoal & pastel drawings of Africans I was
acquainted with during my travels. It is my hope the viewer feels
drawn to look deeply into these faces. Each one has a message
to communicate, and finding it gives these individuals a voice.

Another source of inspiration is nature. Painting the magnificence
of a flower, for example, reminds me of the enigmatic beauty of
Creation. The window paintings of flowers are especially glorious
as the sunlight shines through them, exposing the vibrant colors
and brushstrokes. I paint close-up views of nature because the
process uplifts my spirit as well as the viewer’s.
