BIO
My processes are mostly intuitive. I love texture and layers. Ideas come from walks in the park, communication and from my imagination. Creating gives me a feeling of exuberance. Brushes and paint give me energy. Hidden secrets and memories of past experiences are often revealed. During solitary moments, certain colors generate warmth as I enjoy the creations. It's hard to stop creating, time flies, and I find peace of mind. Painting is one of the best parts of my day.
Statement
“Energy depicts joyful glee through the movement of dancers in their happy and celebratory expressions of intense vitality and good health."
