I am an expressionist artist, specializing in vibrant, colorful abstracts painted with bold brush strokes My works are inspired by places I have been. I will paint over the first layers of my paintings and continue painting over additional layers to create thick paintings with a depth that mirrors the deep layers in memory.  In each area of my paintings y ou can also see the heaviness or lightness of my brush strokes as I work to express feelings associated with my thoughts.  

The colorful memories that inspire my paintings include times spent in special locations like the West Shore of Tahoe, growing up and visiting family on the Seacoast of New England, and many beautiful places throughout The Bay Area. Thinking about one of these experiences as I paint, I find the colors and shapes coming through in the painting, giving each one its own unique feeling and ambiance that hopefully evokes a positive contemplative response from the viewer.
