“Creativity is a drug I cannot live without.” 
This quote by Cecil B. DeMille profoundly resonates with me.  It complements my self-imposed commitment to expressing my innermost thoughts and emotions.  I become breathtakingly stimulated as I take an idea and watch it reveal itself to me and through me.

I am a neo-abstract expressionist.  Abstract painting is like jazz; the artist improvises on a theme or idea and brings it to climax.   Like the jazz musician who uses melody, chords and rhythm, I improvise through the use of composition, line, color, and texture.  I paint until I have fully expressed my original idea. 

At times, a single idea may lead me to a single color or a technique or material I want to explore.  I allow the painting to take on a life of its own.  I paint until I have fully expressed my original idea – until the painting reaches that climax.

I study the works and techniques of other artists, and consider myself a lifelong student.  I am passionate about my work and love to share it with others.
