I utilize abstraction to paint hope.

Abstraction hints at memory, tugs at the heart, and dances around the edge of story.  Good stories are true.  The stories we tell define who we are and how we see the world.

My contemporary abstract paintings provide a safe place, a sacred space, for stories to unfold.

A moment is captured in pigment and suspended in time and space.  Each layer influences, but no single layer determines, the final result.  Each painting is an exploration of what is, what has been, and what might be.  

Each painting is a declaration that beauty is possible. 
Each painting is a declaration of hope.
