|  I am an artist concerned with the visual complexity of 
      Nature and its dynamic interaction of form and color. I draw a personal 
      vocabulary from repetitive elements of my surroundings, and each painting 
      or drawing is a direct response to the visual stimuli of Natures shapes 
      and patterns. I am passionate in reflecting the organic world of this interplay 
      of shapes and colors in my work. Integral to each work is the spontaneity 
      of the drawing and its linear underpinning, which gives the abstraction 
      of the piece an underlying figurative basis.
 
 My work is constantly in flux, as I explore the line interacting with layers 
      of transparent luminous color and reworked surfaces. Each complex composition 
      allows the viewer to glimpse my outer world superimposed on a highly personal 
      inner vision.
