My paintings express a wide variety of tone, and range from vibrant, colorful and whimsical to avant-garde and cutting edge. I would classify my work as a mixture of cubism, expressionism, and abstract. Using acrylic and oil, and sometimes collage, I enjoy seeing how colors look next to each other.
I was inspired to paint to cope with my grief over my brother’s untimely death in a car accident. It was therapeutic. I never went to art school but did attend many art classes where I learned the fundamentals of drawing and painting, and then eventually branched out to find my style. Today, I paint because it’s fun to create an object of beauty and admire the finished product, although there is great joy in the process of creating.
