I have always been attracted by color and shapes. I use a bright robust color 

palette. Color suggests heat, cold, movement, action, serenity, perspective,
sequence, position. I spend time studying my source image, whether it is from life
or a photograph, and analyze the shapes that make up the whole. I exaggerate
subtle colors and accentuate them. I think of my art as a puzzle. I see negative
and positive shapes. I break them down and put them back together. I am also
fascinated by details. I will add and subtract. The mind fills in details that are 

missing. The brain can understand a complex image with minimal details.
