Painting, for me, is the joyful process of organizing colors, spaces, shapes, lines and textures.  Although I do paint representational pieces, i define myself as a abstract expressionist artist.  Sometimes my paintings have references in nature; sometimes my works have no reference point other than what's in my mind and heart and hands.  I try to connect---Reality--Memory--Imagination.
