Artist Statement:
There is a constant tension in my spirit that has to be expressed. The tension dissipates while creating patterns with color and bold shapes depicting our inner and outer landscape. The process creates a silence in me and dusts off everyday life. Sometimes the entropy and turmoil that surrounds us gets distilled into my subject matter, but other times my art offers a respite from it. In an age where the cultural material has been reduced to seeking likes and shares, my art making is for art’s sake. It also operates on a different time scale. There is a gestational period, it slows time, embraces our imperfections, and captures fleeting responses to the world around me. A pictorial haiku evolves creating an illusion or “Maya.”
