As an artist my greatest ambition is to help others appreciate the beauty and potential of any given space, and my commitment to the process of creating visual arts pursues the perfect balance of exploring my creativity while also incorporating a range of what I think are universally fascinating subjects. I believe that every person should be able to live or work in an environment that provides an appealing aesthetic; the addition of unique and original artwork has the ability to brighten and intensify any desired ambiance. To guarantee unique quality I rely on my intuition to guide my work so there is always an element of free spirited spontaneity in each piece. From the array of different colors from bold and bright to chromatic and muted to the variety of materials used, these factors give insight into the mood I am trying to create for each piece in addition to serving as an outlet for displaying my eclectic taste. I especially like working in mixed media because I find it challenging to work with several different mediums while still making each piece a cohesive, marketable piece of artwork. My interest in fashion and wearable art is frequently displayed when I work on a mixed media piece; I really enjoy finding fun ways to incorporate items such as fabrics, stones, pearls, metal flakes, various compounds, butterflies, beads, and sequins into my paintings. Having the opportunity to combine so many mediums at once, makes mixed media pieces a large part of why I love the process of creating art because they give me a feeling of being able to indulge in elaborate visual fantasies while bringing them to reality. I am currently working on my new collection and I am pleased to say that it should be completed by the winter of 2011. My day-to-day life will continue to be ever so present in my work and I look forward to carrying on with the creative journey that I lead. Nevertheless, I must always continue to expose my artistry in other areas particularly with public art, figurative art, the ongoing I am My Art series, commercial and residential projects, and mixed media pieces. My daily objectives are to better myself for humanity, artistically, and enjoy life – carpe diem, and continue to share my artistic vision with the world.
