Artist Statement

.

I am an experimental artist, constantly exploring the possibilities of texture, ink, acrylic paint, and unconventional tools on a variety of surfaces. While I create on canvas, I am particularly drawn to wood panels for their ability to support the depth and weight of my materials.

My journey as an artist began at the age of 57, having never painted before. This discovery opened my eyes to an exciting and limitless world of creativity. Over the years, I have had the privilege of learning from renowned artists both in the United States and abroad, shaping my artistic voice and approach.

I maintain a studio and gallery in Naples, FL, where I continue to push the boundaries of my work. If my art can evoke excitement, bring a sense of calm, or inspire emotion in the viewer, I am deeply grateful. I like to think of my art as alive and enduring—a reflection of both my creative journey and the energy infused within each piece.
