This evening I presented on “The Life of an Abstract Painter”.  This presentation was part of the Artists In The Artery Series at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center in Sheboygan. During this presentation I talked about how my work developed at a pivotal point in my life (2005) and how my environment impacted my view on the world around me. 

Through the process of creating I was able to reflect on life experience, use art as a way to make sense of the world and my thoughts, and  use it as a vehicle to bring order back into my life.
