Artist Statement: 

At the center of every human body is the trace of a life force – the powerful belly button. The idea that all growth and life stems from a central location is activated in my hard-edge abstract paintings.  By using abstraction and compositional devices related to symmetry, doubling, inversion, and reflection—all revolving around the central spine of the painting—I am forming a connection between joy and devotion, real and imagined space, and most of all, the physical and the spiritual nature of painting.
