The Challenges of Abstact Painting
The hardest part about abstract art is that I never know when to stop. Are there enough colors? Should I add different colors? How are the stokes? I face the same challenge in life and in my career. I always have the urge to do more - I want to add more, be more, love more, learn more. I have an insatiable appetite to grow. If I don’t feel like I’m growing or changing, I can’t stand it. Art has given me the opportunity to constantly learn, experiment and challenge myself. It keeps me balanced by pushing me to grow when I feel stagnant in other areas of my life.

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.
