Artist Statement:
My paintings emerge from the
emotion I feel in the moment
my brush touches a blank
surface. I am a very physical
and spontaneous painter.
Moving back and forth with
decisive brush strokes and
dynamic gestures, I work
rapidly to capture that
ephemeral feeling in tangible
form.
I begin without expectations
and work on a subconscious
level that disregards logic.
Guided by a primal inner
voice, I surrender control to
the paint, the brush and a
visceral process of creative
discovery. I apply many layers
to my paintings leaving
evidence of early marks , as a
sense of my progression.
I observe everything in my
life in great detail and am
heavily influenced by nature,
in particular the sky. My
mark-making, though
serendipitous, reflects these
influences. I want the viewer
to believe that my vision
expands beyond the work itself
to a universe I have created.
Painting in the genre of
Abstract Expressionism, I feel
a strong affinity for artists
such as Joan Mitchell and
Willem De Kooning, whose work
also emphasizes action and
emotion over ideas. I sign my
paintings “Hope,” not only
because this is my middle
name, but because this emotion
truly inspires me.
