Contrast makes and moves the memory. I am inspired by cosmopolitan themes and the sensuality of color and shapes. I use acrylic and oil paints to how how colors--bold, primary, clashing, and complementary--function as a conduit for the expression of my audience's various experiences with deep isolation and connection to everyplace and no place. Through the spiral of a piece of curly hair or the center of a flower, I meditate on the way form warps my concept of time. In patterns, I find possibilities. Within the city's rapid movement of multiple languages and bodies, I seek to capture the how humans perceive the jostle of the crowd.
