In my process, I relinquish control, allowing the paint to guide me. Each stroke is a response to the previous one, a dialogue between my inner world and the physical medium. I am fascinated by the way abstraction can evoke emotions and ideas that transcend the literal, encouraging a deeply personal experience for each viewer.

My work is inspired by the rhythms of nature, the chaos and order that exist in the world around us, and the complexities of human emotion. I am drawn to the ways in which abstraction can communicate the ineffable—the feelings, memories, and dreams that defy simple representation.

Through my art, I seek to create a space where ambiguity reigns, where the absence of defined forms allows for infinite interpretations. I hope to invite viewers to engage with the work on a visceral level, to find their own meanings in the movement of color and form, and to connect with the universal language of abstraction.

I am located in Colorado - a beautiful place with an inspiring landscape.  I am a Clinical Psychologist, speaker, writer and artist. Each area of interest informs the others and, in all endeavors, I  dive deep in order to discover what lies beneath.
