"The outside edges of this painting is as important as what's taking place in the center.
I look at my paintings as a living and breathing being. This being and I do a dance together, I lead and it follows."

"Life's Complicated" is an abstract painting featuring a complex overlay of colors and brushstrokes creating a dynamic visual texture. Bold patches of blue, red, yellow, and pink interact with swathes of white and black, interspersed with areas of exposed canvas. The gestural black lines add an element of movement and depth, crossing over and under the other colors, contributing to a sense of organized chaos. Certain sections show more concentrated color, while others are lighter and more subdued, suggesting layering and scraping back of the paint as part of the creative process. There is no discernible subject; instead, the artwork invites interpretation through its energetic application of paint and emotive color palette.
