I’ve been creating art as long as I can remember. I feel I became an artist when creating became something I needed to do to be happy.

Each new work I create is an adventure for me because I never know where it will take me or how it will end up. Each is made up of many layers and every time I paint a new layer of designs and shapes, I leave “bits” of the previous layer behind. Ultimately, I like to layer, creating all sorts of “bits”, until the painting is super chaotic. Then I get to do my favorite part of the whole process, create order and simplicity out of that chaos.

Ultimately, the success of a piece hinges on color. When I paint I spend most of my time thinking about and mixing colors. I will mix a color over and over until I get just the right one. The relationship between colors is also crucial because they must work together. I love to incorporate odd color combinations into my compositions-the ugliest color can look beautiful when placed next to the right color.

Painting is when I am happiest. Each painting I make is a product of me having a good time and I want every piece to reflect that.
