Ever spend so much time looking at the sky that you start to see shapes in the clouds? This tendency, known as pareidolia, relates to the mechanics of the human brain. Pareidolia occurs when you see recognizable objects or patterns in otherwise unrelated objects or patterns. My work elicits a similar response -- challenging the viewer to find something they didn’t expect to find.

Whether it’s through oils, acrylics, pastels, mixed media, pencils, design, or photography, I aim to provoke thought by communicating a feeling. My art intersects abstract expressionism with realism. It’s electric. It’s textured. And it’s bold. Rather than burden the viewer with representational depictions, I carefully hone my pieces to reveal their inherent truth.

Most recently, I’ve experimented with color additives that respond to changing light and temperature -- reinforcing Georgia O’Keeffe’s maxim to “take time to look.” My goal is simple. I want to engage the viewer. Some find my work stimulating. Others find it provocative. I want you to feel something. Over the years, I’ve developed a signature technique that is distinct and unmistakable.
