Abstract Approach to Life

I have always considered myself a process artist. I find my zen setting up the studio, getting the brushes laid out, and the materials ready. I begin every painting with the mindset that there is no wrong or right, only the necessity of being present in the moment.

Using recycled materials I create mixed media with heavy flowing textures made with palette knifes, tile scrappers and recycled paper. Layer upon layer begin to form a colorful and vibrant abstraction filled with depth and free flowing creativity. I believe there is therapy in the creation of art as well as in the viewing process. Waking up everyday surrounded by vibrant colors makes me smile, and want to love a little more.
