"I use lively colors in my paintings that fade, scrape, float and drip. I do this in order to explore elements like movement and touch. I like to think that the act of painting can be a beautiful, exciting record of creativity and expression. I want my work to demonstrate my excitement of being alive, with the hope that it will evoke inspiration in others in a meaningful way."
