It is the assimilation of this spirit - energy and motion - that inspires my work. Within the mediums of painting in watercolor and oils, I connect with the softness that is almost meditative, and translate this energy through brushstrokes. Oils are more kinesthetic; I can feel the substance of the paint and its power, translating the environment around me. My sculptures take all of that into the third dimension.
