I have been involved in creative expression through various mediums since early childhood. For me, painting is synonymous with play. I love to stretch the medium to its limits, and I do this by using unusual objects to paint with such as spaghetti noodles, compressed air, and empty cans. I also love to experiment with what I paint on. This may be a traditional item such as canvas or a wood panel or I may express playfulness by painting unusual objects such as a globe, a violin, or a piece of furniture.
