Artist Statement:
Throughout my career, color
has been the main vehicle for
expressing content, as a means
to an end. I am interested in
color’s potential for
communicating the intangible.
I paint intuitively, guided by
dynamic interrelationships of
color to space and shape; and
by experience, place and time.
My vibrant palette is
influenced by years of living
on a Caribbean island, where
the light is intense and
colors are used with abandon.
The Paradise Project is an
ongoing body of paintings
divided into three groups:
The Monochromes are made from
multiple paint layers of a
single hue, with subtle
nuances- uneven ridges, shapes
or patterns left during the
application process, or in the
medium as it dries; areas of
thick and thin paint; and
varying degrees of color
saturation.
The Shapes are comprised of
schematic color contrasts
forming lines, blobs, squares
and biomorphic shapes. The
brushwork is informal, as
evident in the uneven edges
and drips. Positive and
negative space, figure and
ground, are equally resonant.
The Block Paintings are
composed from small monochrome
paintings attached to larger
painted panels with cradled
sides. As three-dimensional
works, the Block Paintings are
rather like sculptures- blocks
of lush, vibrant hues.
