Statement

In my art I like to express mental and spiritual states. Thoughts, feelings, and Judeo-Christian values inspire me. While the work has meaning to me, which I suggest at times with titles based on experience, mindfulness, and imagination, the meaning is open to interpretation.
 

When painting, I use elements of abstract art to create the work. I used to rarely use shapes. With my photography, often I rely on recognizable objects to represent the abstract. I use them as symbols. With words about the work, I share my intended interpretation. My drawing, including representational, initiates some abstract work.
 

I feel that expressing is therapeutic to me and perhaps the viewer, whether the work is light or dark, calm or dynamic, or both. Some work brings peace of mind; some underscores mystery or heightens curiosity, raising more questions than answers.
