Artist Statement

Letting go is part of the fun.  On impulse, I added a robot to one of my paintings, and now robots have taken over my work.    I love to be busy painting.  Over the last year I painted murals at Facebook’s new headquarters, started selling original pieces at Costco online, and was featured in the New York Times.  Whether my art makes you smile, or reaches you on a deeper level, my goal is to make a connection.   In addition to traditional materials, I paint on old windows, reclaimed cabinet doors, and anything that grabs my interest.  I work with spray paint, oil, acrylic and collage, and coat many of my pieces with thick epoxy resin.
