Paved with Stars

I am self taught. Music was my first form of artistic expression. Nine years ago, I began making visual art.

I currently work on a black surface, generally on hand prepared pastel board.

I continually experiment with different mediums and grounds.

 

Most of my images are from my own imagination. Inspiration comes to me in flashes. I doodle. I see the possibility of a picture and generally start with a sketch, allowing the piece to develop as I work. I'm never quite sure how it will come out since somewhere along the line, the image seems to take over and direct its own progress.

Staying in the present moment allows for freedom and growth with each piece. I strive for strong design, dynamic color, and simplicity.

I work toward an abstract element within the framework of representational art.

I prefer humor to pathos.
