Often my work is marked with the interpretation ‘less is more’ and I couldn’t agree more! I’m inspired by common things that hold the outstanding quality of modesty beneath their surface.

I like to present that hidden beauty in focus and show in full light. I feel at ease in the art movement of Kazimir Malevich, Henri Matisse, Edward Hopper and David Hockney. Within that movement I found my own way of expressing, creating and painting:

  •Naive, slightly cubist with strong color confrontations and a very surprising approach to perspective
  •Pure, direct, powerful and very relaxing
  •Optimistic and intriguing minimalism with a strong touch of romanticism

Born as a child of the 50’s, road trips were my parents’ passion. They saw the American landscape as a means of educating their 5 children – exposing us to the humanity of highways, small towns, truck stops, and KOA Kampgrounds all across the country. To this day, I find the common things along the road fascinating – motels, amusements, petrol stations, neon signs etc..

I found the soul energy in me and gathered the vision of life and the inspiration from it, during my early years in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to working on the family ranch in the Sacramento Valley, and onto urban life.

I feel it is important to show the dreams and passionate drivers they often represent. Now I want to show the world that great symbiosis in a unique way; the power of modesty and the value of silence.
