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, resonateswith
my approach to art. There is a complexity and
history that occurs with each moment and layer
of paint that I apply."
