As a painter I strive to fluidly navigate and find meaning behind the energetic terrains of identity and place. As a practicing artist and educator I am continuously searching out the balancing points between technique and process. A left brain, right brain activity in trusting to know not to know, to remember and forget simultaneously. The meaning is the impact of emotion bridging and merging with visual articulation. i am dedicated to the creative process with all it’s darks and lights and indifferences in between.
