ARTIST STATEMENT

 

My art is an expression of spiritual ideas provided by guidance from my awakened, lively soul. My purpose is to create paintings filled with vibrant energy and sparkling light. I translate my spirit-inspired feelings into deep emotions and energy that I convey through color and texture. It is very important for my artistic creativity that I am truly connected to my truth as well as fully grounded as this allows me to express these emotions through my painting tools onto the canvas.

 

I seek to evoke happiness, a sense of mystery and wonder, and contemplation in every person who looks at my paintings. As an artist I wish to move and uplift people to a state of calmness, curiosity and serenity. This state of curiosity and tranquility enables viewers to put aside life’s challenges for even a few moments, and freely move into the light with love.
