Color gives me visual pleasure
I paint like I eat August sweet corn, with my hands and lots of butter and salt.*
My paintings are a mixture of color and pattern. They involve use of acrylic, collage, stencil, charcoal and what comes within reach. My focus is creating 3D depth of pictorial chaos into smooth visual storytelling.
