Offering to Xochiquetzal

For me art is an act of continuous re-exploration. Just as in dance I once drew on muscle memory, in painting I work with the rhythms of sight. In each body of work I repeatedly revisit a concept or place, interacting with it and re-interpreting it until I apprehend at a deeper level what I need to know. During the process of painting, I integrate these layers of knowing with my emotional responses and visual rhythms to create choreography on canvas. My ultimate goal is to transport the viewer to my layers of experience, both conscious and unconscious, so that together we enter the universal mystery of life.
