Artist Statement:

I was enchanted by the possibilities of transformation and colors. The magic of being able to take the process from an idea to something tangible transfixs me as does the ability we have to reinvent ourselves and our worlds. I want to take what is inside and make it visible, to make the unseen other-self tangible.

I appreciate mystery in an image, uncertainty about what you are seeing. I have a need for color and am fascinated by its power to evoke an emotional response.

I want to tap into the timelessness of creation. Timelessness as the instant when the point of the brush makes contact when everything freezes and nothing else seems to exist. And timeless in that since prehistory, making marks to express is one of the unique behaviors that define us as human.

I want people to have a reaction to my work, be unsure, feel a connection to something larger and feel the magic of transformation.
