The exhilarating and limitless feeling that comes from sitting down with a fresh paint brush and a bare canvas is what I love most about creating a piece of art. If you allow yourself the freedom to tap into uncensored, unabashed creation, then the discoveries you find will be most honest and beautiful.

I am very drawn to expressionism and surrealism. In the summer of 2001, I spent the summer in Florence, Italy at the Lorenzo DiMedeci Institute studying oil painting and Italian. Now, I utilize mostly acrylics and water colors.

During the rehearsal process of Sweeney Todd, I was so inspired by the music and complexity of story that I created a series of Sweeney Todd Paintings. I tried to capture the passion and pain of each song and character through color and brush stroke.
