Statement	My latest works are a study in intense color and a fracturing of these colors into nature and objects to bring to the viewer a feeling of joy and relaxation. The recurring theme of trees and flowers continue to capture my attention as they go through their barren cycles, lay dormant, and then appear so gloriously in the spring. It is my intent to bring these colorful surprises to the viewer, allowing them a few moments of being in my colorful world___ one in which I can't stop painting!
