Bio
I belong close to the ocean. I consider myself a "color enthusiast." I love surrealism and dream imagery ala Alice in Wonderland. I'm inspired by YOU.
Born on Maui, HI in 1981, raised on the beaches of San Diego, California for most of my life. I have a desire to be on, in, near or under the sea at all times. I love the tropical, warm, crystal clear waters of the Hawaiian Islands but have grown to favor the crisp, mysterious deep blue of the beaches here in San Diego.
I've always enjoyed creating things. I've dabbled in Stained Glass arts and mosaics but fell in love with the texture of a plywood canvas with colorful acrylic paints. I love blending colors together to create a unique, bright palette. The feeling of being tossed in the waves, for me, is only duplicated by swirling my paintbrush around the canvas. I create abstract works because I like to allow viewers to get caught up in the waves of color and shapes that move me while I'm creating them.
