I
am inspired by vibrant colors and how different cultures use color to
express themselves. I have traveled throughout my life and love to
travel, but I also have a need to feel rooted, to be at home. To
satisfy both needs, I make each destination my new home by searching out
places where I can become drawn into the “scene” and feel like I’ve lived
there forever. I try to portray this in my work.
It
is deeply satisfying for me when my painting triggers a memory or a
fantasy where the viewer feels that they can escape to this other place.
