I incorporate elements like random shapes, markings, and scribbles, favoring a cheerful yet calming color palette. My goal is to create pieces that have a positive effect on people and ignite curiosity about their nature and potential interpretations.

I begin each piece without a predetermined subject matter, allowing my intuition to guide me. My initial process involves scribbling and doodling with pencils and oil pastels to awaken my creative energy. The underpaintings often feature drab colors, providing depth and intricate details that enhance the final result. Inspiration finds me in the details of everyday life. A pattern on someone's clothing, a captivating image in a magazine, or the harmonious colors of a beautiful rug—all these elements inspire my work. My mood plays a significant role as well. As a generally positive and happy person, I strive to convey that positivity in my art, hoping to share that effect with others.

Creativity runs in my blood. Growing up with parents who were award-winning artists, I spent my childhood around studios and art shows across the country. However, it wasn't until my 50s that I truly embraced art. While I am mostly self-taught, I have learned invaluable lessons from my parents and from studying past and contemporary artists.

My technique is ever evolving, shaped by the influences of artists I admire and the continuous experimentation with colors, shapes, and compositions. Creating one of my abstracts is a time- intensive process, often taking several days or even weeks to complete. I find it essential to step away and return with fresh eyes, allowing me to make changes and additions with a renewed perspective. Interestingly, I often find myself experiencing an initial dislike for a piece, only to return the next day and see it anew, appreciating its beauty and complexity. Through my art, I aim to share a piece of my world—a world filled with curiosity, positivity, and beauty waiting to be discovered.
