My artistic journey began not with a paintbrush, but with a spreadsheet. For decades, my world as a healthcare consultant was defined by analysis, structure, and solving complex systemic problems. This professional life demanded clarity, precision, and an unwavering focus on measurable outcomes.

Now, newly retired, my practice as an abstract artist is the joyful inversion of that professional discipline.

My work explores the space between order and chaos, structure and release. I leverage the same analytical mindset that drove my consulting career—the deep understanding of composition, weight, and balance—but apply it not to organizational charts, but to color, texture, and form. The canvas is my new consulting project: a system that must be deconstructed and rebuilt using intuition and energy, rather than logic and data.

I am fascinated by how color relationships can evoke immediate, visceral emotional responses, and how a confident, gestural line can embody a moment of liberation. My art is often an excavation—a process of layering and scraping away to reveal the history of the canvas underneath. This act of finding form within the abstract noise reflects my own transition, shedding old roles to reveal a new, vibrant, and expressive self.

Ultimately, my pieces serve as a testament to the power of transformation. They are a celebration of retirement as a creative reawakening, proving that the most profound structures in life are often the ones we paint for ourselves.
