Artist Statement
My work revolves around color and how we associate, interact and interpret it. The colors chosen often reflect the relationship between people and an environment, whether it is a physical place or a feeling created by an experience in that space. Color together with the movement and texture from the brushstrokes create a story or emotional response. My work can trigger a strong personal connection to a sensation, a mood or a memory. I believe that colors have a language of their own.
