“While painting, time stands still. I lose myself in the color, textures and the emotion each piece generates. Beginning with no definite pre-conceived plan or expectation, I let the paint guide me I may introduce ink and or collage to add contrast, balance, texture and interest. Hopefully I will pass on to the viewer a feeling of excitement and pleasure.”
