About
I am a painter of shapes and colors? self taught and working primarily in acrylics. My motivations are love and light. When I paint I remember who I am. I play with energy and I let energy play with me. My work is a dance? a free flowing emotional or instinctual response to my environment plus the colors and materials I collaborate with. I seek 'no mind'. I am an open channel.
