Freedom of Abstract
I like alternating between the rigor of detailed drawings/paintings and the freedom of abstract. These resin pieces are wild. It takes skill, but I have less control over the outcome. That is what is most alluring about them. My need for both sides of the spectrum reflects elements in my personality. My quest has been about balance, not by finding the middle ground but rather by exploring both ends. I grow when I challenge myself in this way.

Color is a focus of my work for a variety of reasons, but the main reason is for healing. My father was an angry and violent man. He took out his rage on his family daily and I took it upon myself to protect my mother and brother from him by becoming the focus of his fury. We didn’t have much, but my mother filled our home with colorful art to bring radiance into an otherwise dark place. I followed in her footsteps and escaped into vibrant art of all shapes and forms. Getting into the flow of mindful art creation has been the single most important part of my healing. I hope to share the happiness that colorful art brings me with others, especially children.
