Visiting gardens has always been a calming, healing and inspirational experience for me. This painting is an abstract interpretation of experiences I have while viewing these gardens.

Blooming Oasis, acrylic and fiber on canvas, 65”x60”, tryptic

After finishing my BA in art, I began a career as a ceramic artist, focusing on surface development, eventually creating large installations. I became increasingly interested in abstraction, which lead me to switch from painting on clay to painting on canvas. I have been working as an abstract painter since 2003 painting spontaneously and intuitively, often without preconceived ideas. I experiment with a variety of tools, brushes, and techniques to develop the surfaces of the canvases. I love the experimentation, seeing what results that I get, as I continue to be intrigued and surprised.
