My process is essentially about experimentation and discovery. Even though I've been playing with paint since childhood, I never tire of what it can do or how it can surprise me. I continue to be fascinated by color and its contexts, how it sets a mood, evokes memory, or simply offers a portal to joy. It's a universal language that presents endless possibilities. Mixed media expands my "toolbox" and helps me construct more design-driven works. I jump from one series to another to foster experimentation and the ongoing discovery that it provides.
