The warmth of the sun, the fullness of God’s love, the ache for a world in pain: these are the kind of feelings I aim to capture in my paintings. As a creative person who feels feelings very deeply, I use oil paint as a medium to express what I do not have the words to say. Brushstrokes and color combinations come together to translate what is in my heart to the canvas. I make intuitive paintings to express the emotions that arise in my day-to-day life utilizing mark making and color.
Taking awareness of the waste and trash so prevalent in my immediate environment, sustainability is at the heart of my creative practice. Whether it’s through the use of repurposed materials or the thoughtful application of materials to limit waste, I am thinking about how I can minimize my impact on the environment while creating. This theme is consistent throughout my work, more prominent in certain series than others.
The work I create takes the unseen and puts it on display; either an idea that is not visible or something that is purposely ignored. My vision for the work is for the viewer to stop and take notice of the feelings that come up when looking at it.
