I paint abstracts for the joy of exploring the world around me, looking deeper to see what lies beneath. Old walls speak to me with layers of Fortuny patterns and soft colors mixed with Florentine golds. Poetry, lyrics or even simple marks can be seen underneath. Inspiration comes from the natural world as well. I seek color and movement within water, grasses, and rocky terrain. My work is represented in many layers of acrylics, graphite, pastels and inks.
