For me, creating painting and sculpture is an intuitive process inspired by organic forms, science, and rhythms and patterns in nature. A common theme that surfaces in my work is a feeling of lightness and balance; a place of contemplation. The paintings and sculpture are calm, slow, quiet. Objects float. Lines meander. Color is either soft or minimal. It is often necessary to be intimate with the work to notice subtle shifts in color, and from color to translucency. Viewed from certain angles these shifts become almost imperceptible.

Although, for the most part the work embodies a certain calmness, within it lies quiet movement and progression. Depth is created through translucency and the layering of objects as they flow across, into, or out from the picture plane. The repetition of an object or line becomes an abstraction in pattern. Even when repetition quickens, there is a movement beyond chaos to resolution.
