The Good Dream
Mind Travel
I am an artist whose mixed media paintings express my fascination with color and texture and my desire to examine what lies below the surface of things. I left behind the world of computer code and systems analysis and re-started my career with a degree in business, only to discover that I still wasn’t satisfied. Through a series of chance encounters, I discovered my love of painting.
Layering acrylic paint and other mediums, I create abstract worlds from my imagination. It is a conversation between me and the surface of the paper or canvas. My work celebrates the daydreamer in all of us.
