In reaction to the current state of the world, I found refuge experimenting with color.
Mixing color swatches and filling sketchbooks with color schemes became a meditative studio practice, and my interest in integrative health led me to examine the healing aspects of color. Color therapy (also known as chromopathy or chromotherapy) has been around since the time of Ancient Egypt. In Eastern medicine, colors are associated with different centers of spiritual energy within the body known as chakras. Each color reflects a type of vibration or frequency. 
In everyday life, the inescapable power of color can affect our behaviors, moods, thoughts and consumerism. Reactions to color are often personal, rooted deeply in our own experiences and memories. Color can soothe, agitate,empower and heal. My current paintings are primarily concerned with evoking a spiritual resonance in the viewer that I experience as an intuitive painter. The interplay of shape, mark making and surface texture provides a visual journey through the work; contemplation of the healing aspects of color represents the spiritual journey.
