Painting is such a labor of love.​  It is equal parts inspiration, intention, accident, frustration and joy.  When I paint, I am often inspired by a single feeling or mood that I want the piece to express.  I sketch out very little on the canvas, instead, I spend the bulk of my preparation experimenting with color combinations and mediums, looking for a playful harmony that can convey my vision.  Many of my paintings are a fusion of fluid acrylic and mixed mediums which renders very few boundaries, yet maintains the impression of something more specific and defined.
