I see myself in the role of story teller, using mixed media to illustrate intertwining relationships
between people, nature, history, and mythological icons.
I like to design theater-like stages that are layered with characters and costumes
and architecture which will tell you a timeless tale.
My artwork is inspired by life’s beauty, its power and its mystery.
I love creating lyrical allegorical mixed media paintings.
Weaving them like a tapestry with many layers of textures, patterns, collage, writing, symbols and paint.
I try to capture your interest and draw you in to a theater like scence with fiqures animals symbols
and an evolving situation a story.
My paintings are a paradox out of time maybe out of place.
I hope to entice you to step into the story, take a deeper look to see what is beyond the facade.
A question a situation a confrontation. A combination of past and present experiences, lifetimes.
Each painting's meaning is what you perceive it to be.
