I'm about creating vibrant, colorful work that focuses on the PROCESS of painting - not necessasrily the final project.  While the end result is satisfying -- experiencing the raw emotion that occurs while painting is what is most important to me.  When people look at my work - I want them to get lost in the colors, shapes and lines - and let themselves feel whatever they want - peaceful, angry, happy, unsettled, whisked away, Jangle, Jangle, Jangle - because I feel all those things while I am working on a piece.  The left-over painting is a represenation of a moment - something that happened - and was exciting for a minute, an hour, a day -- and then - SNAP! - it's over.  Kind of like life - and I want to share that.
