Working in series and sequences, using layers and off-angles with the grid as the underlying structure, my goal is to create a feeling of dichotomy and tension.  A dream-like dissonance with a sense of mystery opens my work to personal interpretation and provokes thought and dialogue.

 

Flying, falling, floating, fitting in or not are the themes expressed in my art.  Abstract and figurative, the visual stories are my reflections, reactions to our society... personal to me, while universal at the same time.

 

I have always enjoyed the lusciousness of paint and painting. Every medium, whether oil, acrylic, monotype or encaustic brings another dimension to my work. 

 

My work is inspired by my life: a reflection of my ideas about how things fit or don't into my own life and society at large.
