Weaving threads from pop music, decorative art, complexity theory, Jungian psychology and Eastern philosophy I build connections in my abstract paintings between color and sound. Inviting a balance between randomness and intention, like jazz music, my materials continue to reveal limitless possibilities for improvisation, echoing the chaotic beauty of life.
As an artist, the persistent challenge is, can the hand attain what the mind sees? For me, making art is a steady practice of love and trust.
I have been exhibiting my work extensively throughout Connecticut and in New York City. I maintain a painting studio in Harlem and create ceramic sculptures at the Clay Art Center in Port Chester, New York.
