I consider myself a visual storyteller, calling on my imagination to create a world through seeking balance with paint, form and structure. My abstract work is influenced strongly by random memories from travels, my need to organize, feelings of joy, and often deep-seated longings.  The atmospheric nature of my work can be read as an Asian sensibility that reflects the delicacy of light and line to create a balance often found in nature. These are deep cultural roots that often surface unconsciously. Having lived in large cities of Boston, New York City, Paris and San Francisco bring out the hard edges of urban landscapes that are often found in my paintings. The process of combining color, composition, and mark-making to bring a piece alive is exhilarating and deeply satisfying. The mediums I am currently working with are acrylic, collage, oil, oil with cold wax medium and graphite. Experimentation with these mediums forms my visual language.

Abstract painting has been the narrative of my artistic vision since 2005. I feel very comfortable, as well as challenged, with the process of discovering a painting through the journey of creating art. I continue to take classes and workshops to discover techniques that feed my curiosity. I exhibit my abstract paintings in local and international juried art shows, and a number of solo shows. I have  received numerous 1st placed awards. My art resides in collections locally and throughout the country.
