Artist Statement: Art is my therapy. Making art, to me, is releasing the noise of the world, choosing Marks, colors, shapes and lines to convey an expression of what I am experiencing At the moment. Sometimes the images are respresentational, sometimes they are imaginative and
Abstract. Either way, creating is an act of reaching out to the viewer to perhaps help Them find a message or meaning in the work.
