Artist statement
"I think of my art as an act of defiance against dullness....My art is full of life, juicy color and energy. What I want to capture in my art is not an accurate portrayal of the subject, but the energy and dynamism of the subject. I mostly use a poured application with a palette knife and attempt to avoid any use of a brush at all, because I feel more free not using a brush. I want the paint to speak and move for itself."
