Artist Statement 

This collection of paintings is just that: a collection. If its themes seem disparate, that's because they are. “Light Springs,” however, names something specific. The title refers to our inner fountains, the vanishing sources from which our perspectives emerge, the lights and voices within that guide our way. With this in mind the paintings can be viewed as recordings, fruits of contemplation, drops from a fountain, each moving toward a different outward expression yet sent by the same propulsion.
