Radical Simplification

One woman & five tubes of paint

“Inspiration comes from the play of light, color and shadows around me... from the idea that the division between Earth and sky, work and play and even you and I, is much more fluid than we often remember or care to admit. Painting allows me to simplify the world around me to its basics, to express the emotion and movement of a scene, to focus on a simple line or shape or an emotive color pallet, leaving the space open for interpretation, making a space for viewers to find their commonality and feel the peace of knowing that they are a part of it all."
