Artist Statement:
The first brush stroke starts
a mapping process of constant
motion and discovery. Through
the act of pushing, scraping,
dripping, and throwing the
paint, I create a visual
history of my own response to
these complex, chaotic

experience—no matter how much
planning takes place—the
future remains unknowable, but
by being fully aware and
integrated in the present
moment I can be more conscious
of the decisions that help to
shape my future.
Nowhere is this more apparent
to me than in the process of
creation where my art becomes
a personal meditation. By
using many colors and textures

If you’ve ever been to an art
gallery (assuming you’re not a
snooty art critic, or a
professor of aesthetics),
you’ve probably come across a
revered canvas covered in what
