“Sometimes, the only way I can communicate is through paint, shapes and form. I feel I am trapped in my mind and have developed a language through art to express myself and feel a connection,” says the California-born Dallas transplant. “I create works of art by using expressive gestures through fluid movement and precise pigment placement, which helps communicate my emotional vulnerabilities. Through immersing myself in a state of flow, my sense of shape, color and balance develop into an abstract, unspoken language, ultimately allowing viewers to go on an emotional journey.”
