I believe that an artist's work is a reflection of his inner vision. I am constantly searching for light or truth to reveal my inner vision more clearly.In the process of assessing each of my pieces, I rely on intuition and feeling rather than intellectual analysis. My forms not only contain or imply the processes within, but they reveal and celebrate their unforlding nature.

In my work, I find that juxtaposed, abstract, organic, and geometric forms emerge, while concentrated areas of color appear to penetrate the pieces. The interaction creates a dynamic relationship between surface and form. I find that through observation, exploration, and experimentation, I get new and unique objects. For me, it is most rewarding to explore new possibilities that I have not previously imagined. When I take risks my work becomes more interesting.
