The elegant definition of proximity between line and color fields is a lovely gestural play of tonalities. I like the implicit Gauguinesque-ness of form versus light and the public intimacy that results.” Review of the painting “Locked In” by Renee Sigel Professional Fine Art Critic Zurich, Switzerland “…All these details breath life into an anonymous face: a common face in which anyone can identify with it, and the painting results as a Polaroid photo frame.” Review of the painting “Maude’s Hat” by Renata Panizzieri Professional Fine Art Critic Turin, Piedmont, Italy “I enjoy the surrealism of the many viewpoints in your work of art!” Review of the painting “Falling” by Laara WilliamSen International Professional Painter and Author Vancouver, B.C., Canada BIOGRAPHY AND ARTIST STATEMENT Raised in Los Angeles, California and Mexico, my Bachelor of Arts Degree is from the University of Washington, where I studied graphic design, drawing, painting and photography. Alex Katz, David Hockney, Andy Warhol, and Milton Avery have influenced my work. These works of art are like snapshots of moments frozen in time, engaging the viewer in the narrative. Fascinated with the human form, texture of hair, and the mixing of color, my work focuses on bold tones and interlocking shapes, where the negative and positive spaces, based upon values of light and dark, converge. My artworks are held in collections across the United States, Mexico, and Europe.
