Acrylic, chalk & oil pastels on canvas, framed in 1.5" deep maple wood float frame. Wired and ready to hang. This started with what emerged as the image of a cypress tree in the center, which made me think of the famous "lone cypress" in Pebble Beach. The rest of the painting followed a journey that took me back to family road trips along the Monterey Coast, and those magical seventeen miles in the picturesque community of Pebble Beach. A short but sweet stretch of blue ocean waves crashing along white sand beaches, snug against the shorelines of rocky cliffs and mystical forests.

"Capturing the everyday in abstract form."

All of my artwork is abstract with an organic, free-flowing nature…no hard lines or edges. My paintings are created intuitively, without any preconceived ideas or planned outcomes for the finished piece. I work in many layers, adding and subtracting until it reaches a certain balance and “feels complete”. Even though I work primarily with acrylic paint, I'm always exploring different styles, methods, mediums and substrates. Change is essential for me, in all areas of life, so I’m sure my work will continue to evolve as well.

My inspiration comes from the everyday world around me; these inspirations make their way to the canvas and tell a story. I usually start with a certain color palette, and as the layers develop, I let the colors, texture, marks and movement guide me. My hope is that each viewer can interpret their own story through this visual narrative.
