artist statement

I create colorful patterns and shapes to make your eyes light up and to make the painting pop off the walls and ceilings and run away.

My paintings and drawings of landscapes, architecture, people, and still-lifes are expressions of what my vision of reality is. I create images from what I see and of my imagination.

I am inspired by plant life, the shapes of the land and architecture. I experiment and play with perspective and dimension on the canvas and then fill it up with paint. I use color and black outline to make the shapes pop out and appear more realistic. I like to let my creativity run wild.

I recognized my abilities and desires to express myself through art in a class at Opportunity Partners. I continue to strengthen my artistic visions and techniques in classes there and with my art mentor.

I have exhibited my work at the Hennepin County Library, Hopkins Center for the Arts, Opportunity Partners headquarters, Vision Loss Resources and Munka Beans Coffee Shop. My painting, Flower at Home, won 2nd place in painting at the Sister Kenney Annual International Art Show in May, 2009.
