In my view, art exists in order to transfer emotion directly from one person to another, and in my experience the use of bold color and shape is the most direct way to express that emotion. I have experimented with many forms of visual expression and I have found that colorful abstract art is the way that I can best use my talents to share what I feel when I am painting. I do my best to clear my mind when preparing to do a piece and just let myself go. I feel that the color selection and the shapes that the colors make are direct expressions of the emotions that I am feeling at that time, as long as I am willing to remove my internal censor and let the paintings take shape. The result is colorful art that has the quality of making the viewer not think, but feel.
Some have called my work sensual, and some have called it psychedelic art, but I find it best to not label what I make, as the labels are one more way to censor my work, this time after it is created. I feel that my work is an excellent addition to all types of decor. I am proud to be a Florida artist, and am excited to be a new addition to the Treasure Coast art scene. Please visit my online gallery to see my available work, or contact me directly if you would like to commission a piece to fit into specific size or color parameters.
