I live and paint in my studio, in the heart of the vibrant Scottsdale art scene in Arizona. I paint like a sculptor moving, adding, and scraping paint around the canvas. This technique results in striking contours made of heavy, opaque color and texture against thin, filmy transparency. I apply lines that some have said look like veins or pathways throughout my work. I also make many of my own brushes for effect, using feathers, ropes, wire, and other desert and beach findings. I create painterly surfaces primarily with acrylics on canvas, paper, and board – both small works and very large pieces that invite appreciators to walk into and experience. I focus on abstract designs, but they are always grounded and inspired by the transcendence of natural and urban spaces. My paintings have been referred to by curators as "highly energized landscapes and reflective space-scapes."
