Artist statement: "I work from personal experiences that provoke strong feelings and point to unresolved perceptions and issues. The paintings integrate different aspects of an experience into a visual image, creating a context for understanding the experience … I paint life size. It reflects the human scale and the human dynamic. I also try to express our metaphysical ability to create our own reality. The pots and bandejas are an extension of my interest in multi-culturalism; their surfaces and shapes continually inspire."
