I’ve always loved to create and build tangible things. Something one could reach out and touch, perhaps walk through and/or experience in real time. This led me to a wonderful career in planning, designing and eventually managing teams to create innovative Workplaces for some of Silicon Valley’s most influential companies. After many years and lessons learned, I realized that creating inspiring spaces for others was not feeding my creative spirit like it had previously done. I needed a change.
I now seek out and find inspiration through travel/meeting new people and endeavoring to create innovative and inspiring works of art. My artwork is based on my love of drawing and creating something tangible which in turn allows me to share my most innermost thoughts and feelings with the world around me. I strive to find balance between recognizable shape and abstract form and to tell a story through their interaction and juxtaposition. These forms and connections often take the shape of the natural world and its inhabitants and perhaps highlight the increasingly complicated relationship we have with each other along with the numerous connections we share. Intersection of line and shape creating form and figure. Introduce color, intense color, tones that scream or sigh when viewed. Vibrant color! Line + color can create innumerable engaging and interesting stories. So much can be said with line and color!

Artist Statement

Please provide a brief description of your creative process, motivations, and inspirations:

My Art comes from my heart.  I’m continuously amazed and inspired by the world around me.  We sometimes forget that we are surrounded by miraculous things everyday; above us, below us, all around us.  Our busy modern lives can often cloud these exceptional experiences from us.  I strive to capture that wonderment of the natural world through my life’s lenses including my love of architecture, manual drafting, color, art history and abstraction.  I seek to blend the ‘scene/seen’ with the ‘unscene/unseen’ and to remind us there is much happening around us even if we do not see and/or comprehend it at the time.
