Statement:

My present works are with acrylic painting, collage, and printmaking. Typically, the emphasis in my work is movement and action. I like to see the finished piece to be alive, active, and energized. The visual art process for me becomes a personal exploration into the explosive, ever-changing dynamics of life.
