I find myself consumed with the subtle magic that occurs when playing with light, color and movement in my art making. Whether punched or shredded, I appropriate household paint samples and make mostly 3 dimensional artworks. These artworks transform and change subtly as the viewer shifts his or her vantage point. There is a magic that occurs - a trick of the eye that keeps me experimenting with a broad spectrum of color that these household paint samples afford.
