My paintings portray moments in time, each "a slice of life" from my life, giving a strong connection, purpose, and authenticity to my work.  I am fascinated by how the outside line of a form defines character and personality of the subject matter, as well as creating movement and energy.  My intent is to demonstrate dependent relationships between the light and dark "puzzle pieces" that build the composition, emphasizing the bold contrasts, strong pattern, and simplicity of design in everyday life.
