I am looking to find moments in which aspects of natural life unify.  I observe patterns of life through torn open fruits and squash, the human body and plant life.  I use these patterns and feelings  to develop new images.  I find living energy in this process of integrating and observing life.  It is the energy that I sense flowing through me and consequently to my paintings.  Finding this natural power in me has allowed me to create organic life through my actions.  

     I am essentially creating a living painting, with it's own bone, cells, blood, flesh and skin.  These living paintings connect me to the organic world.
