“My paintings represent personal expressions of my views of life and manifestations of diverse visions. I want them to be intricate and mysterious and to entice the viewer to enter my world. I try to elicit disparate views about time, personal history and life itself. Some of my paintings are ambiguous and nebulous; others are natural interpretations of my experiences. The layer upon layer of paint and veils of color reveal processes that tell stories delving into the complexity of my creative passion.”
