“Insight is defined as the act of apprehending the inner nature of things or of seeing intuitively. My paintings are personal journals or 'insights' of the world around me. Like music, the works are highly subjective interpretations.
In the same way that a composer creates imagery with an arrangement of musical notes, I have sought to visually express the spiritual and emotional aspects of life in a changing world. Sometimes the imagery is sharp and angular, sometimes it is soft and pacific, color and texture fused with life. The work is at once energetic and soothing, reaching past the physical and touching deep within the viewer the notes of a familiar, resonant chord.
Listen to the music.”
