Personal Statement: To me the idea and process of creating is as important as the image on the canvas.

I only make what I have felt or experienced.
I hope to create art that makes you think or evokes some feeling.

I use mixed mediums in my art that enhance my freedom, style and creativity.
My favorite mediums in painting are acrylic, gold leaf, encaustic, and oils. I also do performance art, photography, and the written word. I consider all forms of creativity an open door to my painting.

Current Work
My art focuses on the spiritual and human form. I enjoy capturing dramatic human emotion in the figure. Most of my art is therefore expressive and somewhat representational.

A lot of my works depict scenes of life and death. I paint religious and gothic scenes because they combine sweet sorrow and suffering with beauty and joy. For me they represent the ultimate gift of giving. Secrets, mystery, eroticism, pleasure, devotion and secret are all themes prevalent in my work. My series of works range from religious, to gothic, fetish, written word on canvas, and old world landscapes. Everything I paint comes from personal experience.

In my paintings you will see a piece of my day, a time in my life or a spiritual moment. My paintings unlock the key to my diary.
