In my work, I‘m interested in the denied contradictions that I see in existence in this world. That word white people still have a difficult time talking about. I do this by challenging the viewer’s ideas about history, culture and society. Questioning if my culture really fits.

With self-taught training, new visual experiences are captured on each canvas, playing with different tones and reflections, to create something unique and taking advantage of some reminiscences of abstract expressionism and impressionism, by composition, light and movement.

I never thought in my wildest dreams that my art would take me on this spiritual journey. I have been grateful for so many things. Now, in my early 70s, I can add artist to my list. When the paints call, I answer. This is a Zen moment for me and I am grateful for every second.
