EUPHORIA is defined as a state of intense happiness. This definition is exactly what I attempt to convey in my work. In order to translate this feeling into my painting process I seek to achieve it through my own life experiences. My love of travel and deep appreciation of nature have always been the most direct way for me to reach a state of euphoric well-being. Also as a student of the arts, I have always enjoyed the spiritual effects of dance and the beauty of music. I find that they too are a direct link to achieving a heightened sense of inner peace and joy. My artistic goal has always been to find a way to translate these emotions into my paintings. Creating sensations of optimism, energy & movement through color and texture combined with images of spirituality, nature, dance & music have been my primary motivation as a visual artist. I strive to transmit a sense of euphoria by pushing beyond the obvious subject matter to create art that is not only visually moving but moves the viewer emotionally as well.
