Artist's Statement

My passion for painting began when I learned the art of Chinese watercolor and

calligraphy. This initiated my desire to use paint as a form of expression. My current work portrays abstraction with a touch of realism. I create my own texture and layers of colors I draw from perception, placing shapes, and collage elements; slowly building more texture while simultaneously producing a surface that enables me to scrape through the underlying layers of color. What I see beneath the painting puts me in awe in the discovery of the beauty that comes out from the work unplanned for. My process in painting is one which is more meditative and intuitive. I experience calmness, peacefulness and solitude. I believe that making art feels good and brings pleasure to others. Looseness and uncertainty, above all, are important to my interpretation of the

mysterious energy of the spirit.
