Artist Statement
My work blurs the boundary between painting and collage. Whether the work starts with an image sourced from outside, or from an inner vision, painting helps me integrate the unseen world of spirit with the world we see. Art is the place where invisible presence can be made visible through image, color and light. I feel compelled to keep painting in order to capture the subtle aspect of our world, even though it is like chasing an elusive dream that always gets lost in translation.
