As a self-taught artist, my present emotions and past experiences are what drive me to paint. By using elements such as vibrant colors and vivid textures, I invoke emotions such as passion or joy within my viewers. I create art because I enjoy the the spontaneous and intuitive process of seeing my work transform and evolve.Ultimately, I strive to make each of my paintings unique, full of energy, and ultimately meaningful.
Painting began as a self-taught hobby which quickly evolved into an outlet where I could express my emotions and reflect on life experiences. Studied at the Silvermine Art Center and the Greenwich Art Society. Often emotions are what drive the energy of my paintings. Using bright colors and varying textures is how I capture my feelings; especially those of joy, sadness, or serenity. But, although my current emotions steer the direction of my paintings, my past has heavy influence on my art as well.

And with ink, there is no structure. Often, applications are made freely, combined with drips, pours, and scribbles allowing for a feeling of unpredictability. I strive to give each of my pieces a sense of vitality, energy, force, and movement. In essence,my style can be characterized and identified by the use of beautiful, vibrant colors.My work express my emotions, and stir energy within the viewer.
