Color and environment are key elements that I explore in my work. I look to the natural world and the urban world to create work that addresses both the natural and urban atmosphere. The contrast between natural/urban plays out in my work through my color palette choices, sense memories of my travels and my mark making gestures on canvas.
I am constantly inspired by nature in my work and feel blessed to experience the beauty of the world around me. I want future generations to experience nature and all its beauty as well. As an educator and artist, I encourage students and artists to participate in art that directly relates to local and global issues that continue to challenge our lives.
