My work is influenced by abstract expressionism and incorporates mixed media elements. I loves the intuitive experimentation and discovery involved in creating abstract art. The interaction of colors and shapes on a surface, the tension between lights and darks, the blended edge versus the hard line have long fascinated me. Building layers with collage, and adding gestural lines, as well as journaling and stamping are just some of the techniques I currently incorporates into my art.
