  I have always tried to capture emotion through repetitive patterns and lines that draw the viewer in through depth and symmetry. My exhibition emphasis the connection between the balance and color, using the canvas as a way to define movement and emotion. The pieces themselves play on expressions of language the title allows the viewer to gather and explore the expression and the sensations that are evoked.
