Art is and always has been essential to the health of the health of the human spirit. A lifelong artist, I have always found great healing, joy and fulfillment in the act of creating art. Painting for me is a deeply satisfying journey of inner and outer exploration, release and reintegration. To be totally lost in the moment as I paint is a meditation, a silent yet active form of prayer. Color, texture and form flow over time into an integrative, ephemeral whole; at once alchemical, transformative, and healing.

The act of painting is part of my own spiritual quest, an attempt to bring together the seen and unseen worlds. Playing and experimenting with airbrushed acrylics and various other media on canvas or wood panels, I attempt to resolve the apparent disparity between spirit and matter, to integrate the opposing forces within my own psyche and to find peace within.

I intend that my paintings stimulate and provoke the conscious and unconscious reactions of the viewer. Believing that the vibrational energy of color and form has the transformative power to heal, inspire and motivate the viewer, I paint prayers of passion, power, and peace for myself and others.

As a member of the New Zone Art Collective, I have had the opportunity to freely experiment, and to exhibit my work along with other members in the spirit of cooperation, mutual respect, appreciation and non judgment. We continue to seek out a variety of venues to share our diversity of art and spirit with viewers.
