I love color, and it is my primary tool of expression.  I use color in abstract pieces to show balance, transformation, and interaction of energies. An internal vision or feeling may serve as my inspiration. A stray bit of nature such as a feather, leaf, or shell may also be the starting point of creativity.  A simple object may ignite a powerful internal reaction as inner and outer nature meet. Whether the finished piece is highly realistic or completely abstract, I strive to imbue my art with a sense of the mystery and beauty I find in the world and universe.
