| I create my artwork with several combinations of the following materials: tar, sumi ink, rice paper, and acrylic or oil paint. The paintings are responses to the internal and external levels of healing of the body. Instead of identifiable body parts, my metaphors are visions of my internal bone marrow, teeth, blood, cells, and bones. |

In the mist of illness there is prosperity. My work, is my perception of an inner spiritual core; where the infinite curing source resides. It is in this space of vast emptiness where we all merge, and become our true self. Through raw, honest paintings, the experience of a quiet mystery exists. |

My work on either linen, paper, or canvas range in size from 10 x 10 inches to 8 x 8 feet. The enjoyment in painting is the sheer pleasure of making the marks, and mixing each gesture together from the past, and present moments. The final painting develops into a chronicle of the truth that has passed, and a diagram navigating to the memory. |
