“Painting for me is an expression of myself in a new and fresh way.  I am moved by discovering exciting new ways to work with my hands that are different from how I used them to treat patients as a physical therapist.  My brush strokes fill with spontaneity as energy flows through my hands to make the canvas come alive.  My work is mainly non-objective.  I am inspired by interesting color combinations interacting with each other.  I prefer to play with a large-scale format, and use oversized brushes to unleash movement.  Throughout my process, I remain committed to exploration, guided by a fearless approach to my work.  I am constantly stirred by my escape into everything that I create. ”
