I remember drawing patterns in blue and orange with crayons. The interaction of colors is what I fell in love with. In the course of my life path I fell away from any sense of creative freedom, working from what I thought was expected of me. It wasn’t until I was 40 that I was able, emotionally and spiritually to access that child spirit through my adult educated mind. I draw influences from abstr

act expressionism, the Italian High Renaissance and Impressionism. My work seeks to establish the intricate web between energy and the emotion of its’ rhythmic patterns. Atoms have a constant vibrational energy. When I see with my creative eye, my intuitive sense is asking, “What is the energy of that? What am I filled with when I see that thing?” I am looking for a vibrational translation of whatever I am seeing. I look to nature for the source of my inspiration. I want my audience to see nature on a vibrational level, going beyond the initial surface. I am a voice answering, looking into and exploring a place where physics and spirit meet. Like Kandinski, I feel a spiritual essence of an object. The place where point and line intersect create a spiritual nexus. Our world has become so small. There are no more frontiers. I am trying to show that there is great wonder in everything still. That the frontier is within us, not outside of us. The more visual a culture we become, the more important it is that there be a visual voice that speaks to the inner experience. I hope that my painting helps people go on an inward journey in their relationship to things around them.
