ART is the life energy of the soul. I want my audience to contemplate my pieces and arrive at their own meanings as they bring their unique life experiences to the viewing of the art. The primary subjects of my creative explorations include, spirit, soul, women, nature, layers, houses, time, love, treasure, and color. My work is inspired by the music I listen to, the mood I am immersed in, and life itself. At times, my work is simply play, exploration and experimentation with the mediums and materials I am using. My pieces evolve as I am applying texture to the bare canvas and then adding layers of paint, scraping and sanding the surface, adding paper, ephemera, making marks, sewing, and attaching found objects using a variety of visually interesting techniques.
