Abstract Paintings
My gestural abstract paintings resemble carefully composed songs, where contour lines act like musical notes and interact with blocks of color to create delicate narratives. I intentionally use empty space as a compositional element, allowing the eye to breathe, much like the rests in music. My color choices are instinctual, contrasting vibrant, saturated hues with muted tones to evoke a unique mood for each viewer. The result is a dynamic and harmonious visual concerto, rich with energy and emotion.

Turn Off Trouble, 8x10" Bluebird Abstract Painting
This beautiful bluebird is all of us; growing and evolving with each day. In fact, I’m using that bird as a symbol for our souls. In the painting, a swath of pink acts as a soothing cloud of happiness to sweep the troubles away. Could this be from meditation? Drugs? Alcohol? A nap? A sudden change of fortune? A mindset shift? I use color and composition and line to create a poetic “portrait” of the soul in a moment of time. I love to show a mood of celebration and power…the soul’s evolving wins and losses as lessons learned.
