As an enthusiastic and lifelong dabbler, intellectual generalist, and devoted explorer of creative side paths, I am happiest following whatever ideas sparkle at the edges of my attention.  Artmaking has become the container where my scattered curiosities can gather, connect, and take form.  The creative process opens space for play, intuition, and exploration. Working with paint invites my nebulous conceptions to connect with the physical world of pigment, surface, and gesture: pushing, scraping, mixing, and layering paint and inviting what wants to come into being.

The work I do as a therapist informs the way I see the world and the way I approach my creative work.  I spend a lot of time thinking about what it means to be human, the stories we tell ourselves, and the meaning we make of it all. I am fascinated by the nature of existence and the question of what it is each of us is here to do.  Mystery, spirit, shadow, and dreams are consistent themes in my work.  I see all of these as potential portals into a more expansive understanding. 

I am always in search of beauty, and often see what is possible, not just what is there.  With my creative work, I am attempting to capture something pervasive yet elusive, a knowing beyond understanding. I want to point the viewer towards something beautiful, or a new way of seeing.
