I am a colorist. The pursuit for the understanding, control, and mastery of color has been a constant in my process throughout my artistic career and is a passion I share with my students. Using the sky as a metaphor for my connection with God, I draw on the splendor of nature, clouds, and the cosmos as a conduit for expressing emotions of joy, divine grace, and hope. My hand is guided by my appreciation for God’s beauty and the reverence that he creates around us. I want my paintings to captivate the viewer in a positive way and to help them feel closer to the heavens. My abstract paintings are often described as ethereal and emotionally evocative.
