My paintings are an exploration of my experience with bipolar disorder and mania. At one point in my life I was faced with a decision to look at my traumas and face them ahead on to depths . My art is not only my navigation system to help explore my own soul, but to help explore who I am in relationship to my share of a human experience. I conciously choose to see the full extent of my lived reality, including the parts that are difficult. And as I am guided by my emotions and spirit, my paintings reveal to me an even more expanded view of my identity. And in the “darkness” I believe I can find more meaning to my deeply personal experiences.
