Artist statement and biography

“Most of my paintings depict flowers. To me, flowers convey a sense of hope and optimism. The unlimited shapes and colors allow for a great deal of imagination and experimentation. The background areas also provide even more opportunities for painterly expression. Many of the flowers look wind-blown. I try to give a sense of movement through the use of line. I am currently working on adding texture by applying pieces of cut-up fabric to the canvas. I paint almost everyday.
