i paint to get lost in colors, to move through shapes and ride on line.

i paint to give life to my imagination, infuse joy into paper, and exhale color.

i paint to let my eyes dance and heart sing.

i paint like someone sings out in the shower, or adds a heavy dash of spice to a new dish.

painting is energy popping to life that moves me forward, up, or down.

i revisit places from the past and explore inner worlds, blurring the two into a dream-like reality.
