As a painter, I seek to create a choreography of mixed forms, sometimes bold and loud, other times subtle. My painting process frequently begins untamed with a pure outpouring of emotion. Color is applied over one another; each one chosen to enhance or contrast with the previous layer. I use acrylic paint in a broad and translucent manner to create scenes of vast light and color.

I like to start on a blank slate and the simplest things give me ideas. Inspiration could come from anywhere - a visual cue or concept. Additionally, I enjoy adopting techniques from various profound artists, applying expressive drips and blurring techniques, and exploring with light, vivid color, texture, and unique brushwork. Using paint in a broad and translucent manner allows me to create scenes of vast light and color.

I add and subtract many layers as a painting evolves, working with both opaque and translucent mediums to reveal the previous coatings underneath in either a blatant or subtle way. My medium of choice is acrylic paint as its quick drying time affords me the level of spontaneity that I am most comfortable with. In addition to applying paint with brushes, I use a variety of other tools such as palette knives, squeegees, cloth, etc. Besides acrylic, I work with graphite, pastels, and oil pigments.
