My paintings are a distillation of my dreams, visions, and life experiences. They represent my on-going struggle with the duality of life and my efforts to find the creative force in all things, "good" and "bad", that challenge us to grow, expand, and recreate our world.

We cannot stand in light without casting a shadow, each is dependent on the other. My goal is to embrace light and darkness with equal grace, communicating life's balancing acts: humor against gravity; confidence against uncertainty; unity against isolation; love against fear - leaving enough room in my paintings for the viewer to step in, walk around, and hear his or her own voice.
