Inside My Studio

Starting in January 2026, as I prepared for my upcoming show this past September, I noticed my studio was becoming a “white noise space” — a space where I could relax, feel comfortable and let things go.

I could physically feel the effects. My respirations and heart beat slowed, my body relaxed, and the tension eased. At that point, I experienced sheer joy in seeing the work develop in front of me. The real-world was gone.

My art has always been a way of communicating with others, so it’s deeply satisfying when viewers say they relate to a piece, or it reminds them of a specific/joyful time in their lives. Several of those attending opening night and had followed my work commented about how free and open the pieces appeared.

As other artists will tell you, when the visual and emotional connection between the viewer and what the artist is trying to convey happens — it’s a magical connection…especially with abstract art.
