From early childhood, I can recall being drawn strongly to individual and blends of colors, as well as to the intricacies of shapes and patterns, which surround us all in Nature, clothing, landscaping, home design, and many other elements of our life. As my childhood and those early connections to my visual world evolved into adolescence and adulthood, I continued to translate those feelings into drawings and paintings, always striving to further refine and more deeply express my evoked feelings. In recent years, I have focused on using ink and acrylic on paper and canvas. As I express mental images on a solid surface, I shy away from intellectualizing my efforts, which I find somewhat restrictive and superficial, and rely most on being improvisational, with free-flowing feelings, thoughts, and mental images transferred through my hands to surface. Rather than my imposing my will on an image, I allow the medium to guide my efforts.See less
