Artist Statement:

As an artist working in the Southern California area, the influence of light and color has been important to me in the development of my work. The way light interacts with subject matter has become my primary focus. Such interactions suggest patterns created by light and shadow which provide the basis for my compositional arrangements. My goal is to utilize the design and color suggested by these patterns in order to create a powerful visual impact. I wish to communicate what I perceive to be the most essential in the subject matter before me as it is revealed through the intensity of light. I believe this to be the basis for creating a moving visual experience.
