Artist’s Statement

Whether I’m creating allegorical stories, brush-free abstracts, or mosaics of poured color, I have developed my own style of “artistic alchemy” – a combination of mixing materials to produce the stillness of image and the movement of spirit.By using different techniques, I aim to create a multi-dimensional space within the work that elevates the viewer to contemplate and transcend the physical. My current focus is on the exploration of the intersection between fine art and new media.
