Artist Statement

This work continues my exploration of the ways in which we communicate through visual images. The manipulation of paint on the paper allows the image to emerge as a reminder of the power of human touch. The color and forms create movement and space that resonate with our eye and by extension our bodies. In the end it is the silence within the painting that speaks in new and unexpected ways.
