ABOUT

As I work on a painting, a mystery unfolds, its immediacy fills me, and the internal enthusiasm I feel is intimacy with self. My hands start drawing and when that feels complete I add a brighter color under the dark drawing to give it a breathing space. And as I trust the painting and my body to give me more information I make another mark and let the layers come. I play with organic shapes, textures, vastness, and the spaces between. 

I have been deeply involved with art forms all my life. From early on I enjoyed drawing people in my notebook and documenting the little things I noticed about life by regularly taking photos of people and their surroundings.

I see myself as an artist of life and that manifests itself in various forms: when I paint, take photographs, or tell a story on film.
