In life we catch glimpses of our ideal. At times
it is right behind the corner, so visible it is believable,
almost reachable. Our proximity translates into a sweet promise.
Using water as a symbol of life, serenity, and that promise,
my trees may either represent a barrier or they may yield
to define a path.

Every painting is a self portrait. I do not
paint flowers. I use form, color, and texture to convey emotions.
I use flowers as visual metaphors conveying many themes. The
fragility of flowers, coupled with their ephemeral beauty,
intriguing delicacy, and striking color, attract sensitivity
and amplify the drama. The fleeting existence of flowers triggers
urgency.
Having no faces of their own, flowers in my
work represent images that viewers of diverse backgrounds
can identify with. Overcoming superficial dissimilarities,
they serve as portraits of universal appeal. By portraying
emotions using faceless metaphors I invite viewers to be active
observers.

What critics say about:
"The plants become anthropomorphic lovers"
Joseph Jacobs, Curator of American Art at the Newark Museum
"The paint is no longer a means by which
to reflect the natural world but rather to express it"
