deep pit of power Painting

Physical mark making on 2 dimensional surfaces has been a life long pursuit. After many years of performing in the Graphic Design arena, my focus is now on the freedom and application of my first love. I am constantly experimenting in my practice to reflect my artistic mood. Our contribution as artists weaves into the rich tapestry of human existence. Every single artist makes a valuable statement towards the understanding of our selves.
