Artist Statement
“As an abstract-reflectionist painter, my primary subjects are people. Language and symbolism are used to convey important aspects of energy, emotion, expression and vision that are reflected by people I find engaging.
The paintings I create translate as an abstract expression using prisms of rich vibrant color and sensual curving shapes with acrylic on canvas and symphony sheet music. The idea is to convey the purest essence of spirit experienced directly from the source.
The sheet music is carefully hand-selected, according to the energy expressed by each individual, as there is a direct correlation between people and music. Emotions are like a beautiful language using the various instruments played in the symphony. The energy from the sounds reflection creates prisms of color and imagery which mixes with the emotions of the soul. This is the essence of how I create.”
“Art is the mirror of who we are and what we would like to become.”
