Artist Statement

I am inspired by the incredible beauty of Mother Nature and strive to capture that magnificence and essence of those colorful and vibrant flowers, botanicals and gardens through my paintings. My artwork takes the viewer on a visual journey with focus on vibrant colors, harmonious compositions and a myriad of textures, shapes and light and shadow effects. Through my paintings, I want to share my deep appreciation and wonderment of the natural world and allow us to pause from our busy lives and admire the beauty that surrounds us each moment.
My style of painting is loose, abstract impressionistic as I attempt to capture the essence and mood of my subjects rather than a complete detailed mirror image. Bright and bold colors are my go-to palette; as they not only heighten the realistic beauty but also push the boundaries of my creative ingenuity and surreal imagination. To capture the impressionistic nature of my florals, I paint from carefree abstraction to subtle realism, and bring to canvas the beautiful outdoors and nature’s vibrant colors. I have always been fascinated by colors, patterns, textures, light and shadow, and every little thing that makes the natural world so beautiful and unique.

I paint in my favorite medium, Oil. It’s smooth, rich texture and lush color pigments fascinate me as they shine through blending and also adding multiple layers of oil brings out the beauty of the narrative subjects like no other medium.
