In today’s society, for serious artists to navigate the high costs of traditional painting materials, they must creatively utilize unconventional resources, they must reflect their economic realities while still producing meaningful and resonant artwork.

I create paintings that explore my dreams, and the emotions tied to my unconscious mind through a unique process that utilizes non-traditional materials, revealing the essence of these experiences while capturing sensations of loss, isolation, and repetition. For the past three decades, I have been integrating household chemical products into my paintings, reversing traditional design processes to create organized chaotic (part of the process of change) surfaces that reveal new dialogues through innovative compositional elements. The paintings serve as vivid images that reflect the complex thought processes surrounding creativity, exploring themes of belonging, displacement, and identity through the nuanced evolution of both memory and artistic expression.

Through meticulous work, each piece has evolved into a unique expression, where the raw canvas reveals the dynamic interplay of structure and layered mark-making, ultimately transforming invisible energies into visible autographs of consciousness.  The paintings are a collection of songs and poems in paint entrusted with its vivid imagery of death and rebirth, where each illustration served as a poignant reminder of life’s complexities and our roles within its unfolding narrative. They explore the interplay of time and materials through layered, painterly collages that evoke both nostalgia and depth. While experience shapes our perceptions, they are a blending of energies into consciousness while transforming the exploration of color and symbolism through a balance between past experiences and contemporary insights.
