Artist's Statement and Biography
Much of my work is driven by a conversation I’m having with myself in trying to understand the turmoil we all face in our country and the world. My art is not to convince others about anything, but to deepen my understanding of why “isms” are such a powerful force contributing to hatred, injustice and inequality. I amplify this conversation by creating paingings that are enhanced by the power of poetry that capture the universality of the human condition.
