How would you describe your genre of painting?
Abrstract Color Fields integrating the Japanese Art of Kintsugi with Chakric Symbolism

Describe your creative process.  When you begin a painting, do you have an idea of what the end result is? Do you prepare sketches first?  Do you know the colors you are going to use?
When I enter my studio, I focus on “warming up” with mundane tasks, prepping the work area, laying out materials, setting up my space with a candle and music/TV.  All the while, I am looking at my unfinished pieces to see what type of layer should come next.  From there, I just let my unconscious takeover - whatever feels right is what I paint next.

How do you hope viewers interpret your artwork?
I hope viewers feel a sense of calm and peaceful resilience when they view my work.  I wish to impart a positive, resilient energy through my art.

What is your favorite praise you have received from a client/viewer  about your work?
A client who has a PhD in Neuroscience said that the kintsugi lines I draw in my work mirror the neurons firing in the brain when she looks through a microscope.  It’s as if “nature” has been telling us all along how to become resilient by embracing our scars and allowing us to re-connect within ourselves.
