I look at the sky, mountains and desert landscape in order to draw on it for inspiration. A wonderful sense of belonging, a connection to Mother Earth is felt. I play a variety of music and let my mind wander. It is my personal journey into thought that flows out onto the canvas.Life experiences are universal and mine speak in rich color,texture, shapes and brush strokes. Surface scratches are made and sometimes words appear. A metamorphosis takes place that is symbolic of our lives. The subtle and dramatic changes seem to mirror my life. The interrelationship of texture, color and how they influence each viewer intrigues me. When my paintings evoke an emotional reaction, I have communicated well.
