Notes from the Artist:

About My Art

I am self-taught and have a passion for contemporary art. My passion is reflected through my work as oil and canvas or paper (or sometimes even the wall!) are combined with empowering brilliant colors and daring geometric shapes placed in unique arrangements that create unique dimensions.

When I paint I create a story.

As you can see in my work I love using eye-catching shapes and harmonious colors. I start each piece by mixing together paints to create new colors that I use to engulf the shapes. Each shape is designed to create a symbol to express a point or an explanation. 

About My Beliefs

I pray daily for God to help and teach me and to this day I always feel The Holy Spirit spirit when I paint. I feel each person has a gift to create. God is the Creator and I think He put that gift in every person.

I continue to be inspired by God and the world he has created which makes me want to create something to share with this world that has never been seen before. 

I believe we always contend with the forces of light and darkness. What causes a person to decide one or the other has always been a mystery. In my paintings, these forces find harmony, rhythm, and adventure.

My highest goal is to convey those forces and belonging to my collectors, offering a moment or pause to feel the power and feeling behind my pieces.
