My fascination with the evolution of life is also a spiritual quest in search of my identity and place within the whole of existence. Simply by being alive I am connected to the infinite energy of the universe. The mystery of this invisible power is the foundation of my art.

In my paintings I use color and light to express the connection between the material and energetic worlds. Most paintings begin with an automatic choice of color driven by an inner sensation. I imagine raw energy emerging from a dark hidden place to begin creation by forming overlapping networks. The focused bright light in my artwork represents the point where energy and matter collide.

Making art is like practicing a religion. It becomes a ritual that keeps me focused on the beauty and mystery of existence.
