Artist Statement

I create bright, bold abstract landscapes using acrylic on canvas, various mixed media, and stitching. I experiment with color and composition to process both my inner and outer world, seeking a brighter perspective through the lens of my art. Ranging from graphic to organic in style, my work is process-based and a continual exploration of joy, telling stories of experiences, real or imagined.
