Artist Statement
I am a storyteller without words. I paint our stories.
Forsaking paint brushes, I paint with my hands. I gesture,
throw, and drip. And in painting, I flow.
I paint circles and ovals. I paint squares. And in duality, I find union.
I paint the dance of shadow and light. And in dancing, I create beauty in shadow.
I paint infinity. And in boundlessness, we are one.
I paint to tell my story. I paint so you hear your story. And in the telling, we are transmuted.
I am a storyteller without words.
