DRIVEN TO ABSTRACTION

 

“When I was 4 years old, my grandfather gave me a scrap of plywood, a brush, and some watercolors.  When I was done painting, he said it was a beautiful landscape (although I’m sure it was very abstract).  His encouragement was all it took to get me started.

 

Exploration of color has always been my primary focus.  For more than 20 years, my style has been to create a lush and lyrical interplay of form and color. My attempt is to paint colorful, rhythmic, and harmonious shapes with layers of meaning.

 

I have an MFA from Claremont Graduate University.”
