When I have been affected by an experience, I become curious and questions arise. I want to express and search for the answers somehow. Much of my work is an investigation and experimentation with translating experiences and emotional states into a visual that others can witness. I strive to find clearer ways to explain what I am curious about, what I see and feel, through paint and other mediums.
