Beyond my strong desire to continually achieve a higher level of expertise and technical ability is my longing to describe my sincere interpretation of beauty. Hopefully through my painting I will not only express the surface level of what I observe but the more important soulful and emotional discoveries of my internal world.
My art practice is an extension of my ongoing journey to unearth the treasures of secret wisdom only found by delving into my emotional landscape. Many truths about our human spirit hide in our trauma shadows, my aim is to expose these and transform them into something beautiful.
