Artist Statement:
A canvas, sculpture, or the
time line of new media
presents a stage for me to
examine the visually driven
attributes of light,
perspective, color, form, and
movement. Past experiences,
present environment,
imagination, and
experimentation with mixed
media allow me to echo my
passions, peace, or pleasure.
Creations from impressions
encountered in urban, rural,
or figurative life evolve
abstractly. Innovative form
and color are fashioned from
the physical, mental, or
spiritual. Red and black may
stir energy or passion. Ochre
or sienna may prompt an
affection of earth or rock.
I begin a painting, sculpture
or video composition with
paint, found objects or
software. The chosen media
then grows more sophisticated
and substantive with multiple
layers as mixed media is
applied with a brush, knife,
traditional or digital tools.
Three-dimensional interior or
exterior attachments are
sometimes explored. My new
work may shadow my previous
series and motifs, as I strive
for that elusive originality.
My exploratory nature for
diversity keeps me moving in
and out of my compound-ongoing
series (Action / Onyx / Lyric
/ Urban / Corolla). Sculpture
and video are now additional
elements of my inventive
journey.
