Over a twenty-year career, my practice has explored the intersections of energy, movement, and material. Inspired by the vibrancy of the natural world and the balance of forces within it, I paint flowing organic forms and energetic eruptions of color. The dynamic movement and restorative potential of water are an enduring source of inspiration: water draws a connection between the healing thermal springs of my birthplace in Hungary and the power and beauty of the Pacific Ocean, which I appreciate every day from my home in Laguna Beach, California.
Working with fluid acrylics on large-scale canvases, I let intuition guide my process, allowing the viscosity of the paint to dictate the final form. I add layer upon layer, manipulating the paint through movement, until I reach a compositional harmony between color, form, and negative space.
My work aims to activate the surrounding space into a site of inquiry, transformation, and reflection. Influenced by my background in psychology, my paintings can be interpreted as depictions of emotions or inner psyches, which too are fluid and multilayered.
Ultimately, I hope to elicit an emotional response in my viewers to encourage connection and healing—an endeavor that anchors both my art practice and my community work as an art educator.
