“The self-conscious aim of Life is to find expression. . . Art offers certain beautiful forms through which it may realize that energy.”
- Oscar Wilde
It has been said that life imitates art and vice versa. One dovetails into the other, forming a continuous bond between experience and expression. My art and I share such a bond. Dancers have fascinated me since childhood, and capturing their poet
ic motion in visual media has become a major part of my work. As a dancer myself, I find my art often reflects the beautiful partnering of literal action and artistic interpretation. Dynamic motion, bold color, and contemporary composition are my work’s hallmarks. My imagery is often both traditional and modern—like a Flamenco dancer rendered in marker and ink. They are strong and passionate, grounded and powerful. My hope is that these pieces feel to the observer as if, at any moment, the subject may come alive and dance out of the frame before the viewer’s eyes.
