I become one with my creation, channeling into the zone where I am alone within a world apart from reality. I have been told I create whole worlds of my own and although skilled, I am an intuitive, organic painter, who feels and reads energy in shapes and color. I am known for putting colors that usually are not placed together and with my paintings it works. I love working with bright colors. Perhaps it is because I am happiest when I am in the flow of the creative process.
