STATEMENT
These paintings take shape with lightly set layers of vivid color freely laid with strokes, smears, and smudges: dissolving into intricate patterns of tiny spots recalling the living earth and passing skies.
Paintings can awaken what is lost; in the frantic digital world: inspiring us to see.
