Artist Statement
Profoundly hard of hearing since age two, I have spent a lot of time silently observing others and my relationship to them. Discovering abstract expressionism at twentyseven freed me as an artist. I found an intuitive process that made incredible sense to me and helped me develop my own artistic vocabulary. By exploring tension, sexuality and humor in my art, I illustrate how people interact, flee from confinement, or stand their own ground. Each piece becomes a unique scenario to discover juxtapositions and identity in this world we all share.
