ARTIST'S STATEMENT

To be able to move beyond the question “what if?” and explore the answer, is what excites me as an artist.  My goal is to investigate the creative process. My work may be inspired by a design idea, a photograph, or the desire to express a message, or my current mood. 
 
Flexibility is one of the aspects that inspires my work.  It allows me to choose a creative path while being open to new avenues of expression, breaking free of any rigid rules or expectations. Working with different acrylic mediums, paper, objects and tools, constantly provides me with new ideas, from which future paintings originate. Although I enjoy this method of painting, I do not feel constrained by it, therefore allowing me to return to a more controlled method of painting when the desire to do so presents itself.  The fact that I can oscillate back and forth, selecting my own path, is liberating.
