My artwork involves combining vibrant colors with varying textures. I balance the colors with a fluid transition from contrasting lighter and darker shades of analogous colors. My color choice creates a mood of warmth or cool for each painting. I derived by color choice from artifacts of my culture and occasionally place symbols and designs within my art pieces. I layered various brush techniques to blend my colors in a dynamic way to create depth within the surface of each painting. My art is an arrangement of color, texture and design that i have cherished throughout my life.
