Rather than approaching the canvas with a sketch or outline of how I want the painting to look, I instead tap into my emotional being and paint from what I am feeling at the time, consciously or subconsciously. My mood and energy is reflected by my color choice, and I let those colors then pave the way for my subject matter. Symbolism in my work challenges the viewer analyze the painting in relation to his or her own life. My newest works are an interpretation of the world today. I examine controversial struggles such as love and war, as well the hardships of everyday life. I enjoy using vivid colors and captivating images to draw the viewer in, but upon further analysis, she/he realizes the issues at hand. My work parallels life in this regard, how we are initially attracted to something on the surface, yet only when we go deeper do we find substance or lack thereof. My creations tell a story that has no beginning or end. It strives not for beauty, but for a deeper meaning. Through the search, beauty is found along the way.
