I AM AN ABSTRACT CONTEMPORARY PAINTER WHO IS INSPIRED BY ORGANIC SHAPES IN NATURE AND THE HUMAN BODY. MY PROCESS STARTS BY POURING PAINT ON TO RAW CANVAS. THE ORGANIC SHAPES FLOW TO CREATE A RYTHMIC MELODY, AS IN A DANCE OR SONG. I AM INSPIRED BY THE PICTURES I TAKE IN NATURE. THIS ALLOWS MY INNER CREATIVE VOICE TO SPEAK OUT. SOME OF THE CREATIONS EVEN HAVE HIDDEN WORDS OR MESSAGES FOR THE VIEWER.

THE BLUE SERIES IS INSPIRED BY PHOTOGRAPHS THAT I TOOK ON TOP OF SNOWBIRD, UTAH, SPRING 2006. WHEN YOU ARE AT AN ELEVATION OF 10,000 FEET THE AIR IS THIN AND SO ARE THE SHAPES OF THE CLOUDS. I DOWNLOADED THE PICTURES AND RECONFIGURED THEM ON PHOTOSHOP, TO CREATE ART PHOTOGRAPHS. I WANTED TO RECREATE THE IMAGES WITH PAINT TO CREATE A CANVAS THAT HAS AN ETHEREAL APPEARANCE.
