Artist Statement:
My work is about the joy of
seeing the beauty of shapes in
paint. It ranges from total
abstraction to images drawn
from the world around us.
Some of my new work is
inspired by patterns at
different scales in the
natural world – from molecules
to ice sheets to nebulae.
Another recent direction
explored images of energy
unleashed, such as tornadoes
and nuclear bombs. Other
works are inspired by a shape,
a color combination or a
concept, and then I just
follow the brushes and see
where they lead.
I currently work in oil,
acrylic, encaustic, watercolor
media, ink and mixed media.
The choice of media allows me
to delve into different
methods of working with the
materials to explore a myriad
of possibilities for creating
beauty out of various shapes
and patches of color.
With all my work, I like to
challenge the viewer to see
the beauty that’s right before
their eyes –– the colors and
shapes of paint....
