Artist Statement: Painting is my medium for expressing spirituality, creativity, and life experiences. I work in a spontaneous style similar to the Japanese painters of the Heido Period. Employing a kinetic approach, I use the rhythm of my arm in motion to create a balance between the colors and detail in my work. I find perfection in the imperfect. This practice makes my mind feel calm, tranquil, and luminous, just like a meditation. The concept of "shibui", a Japanese word for the aesthetic of subtle, simple beauty, resonates with my approach to art. There is a complexity and history that occurs with each moment and layer of paint that I apply.
