Artist Statement:
I want my work to be
immediate and fresh, never
final but new with each
encounter. I strive to create
art that is viewed as an
experience or a
journey...seeing, waiting,
doubting, discovering,
creating, destroying, opening,
closing, starting, ending.
I am drawn to art that can
be interpreted differently by
each viewer and interpreted
anew with each viewing. I
strive to create art that
possesses these qualities,
which would explain why most
of my recent work is
considered "abstract" or
"non-representational".
The discipline to free an
image from conventional
expectations without
surrendering the emotional
drama of the human spirit will
always be my pursuit. For me,
the challenge of painting is
to penetrate and break through
inherent preconceived
expectations of art which may
stifle the personality, or the
spirit, and to present a fresh
new way of "seeing".
In the process of
creating, my art is sometimes
transformed incrementally,
from realistic or
representational subject
matter to an expressionistic
or emotional image as I
progress. At other times I may
approach an empty canvas with
the intention of bypassing any
"subject matter", pursuing a
more random expression.
Throughout the years my
art has gone through many
phases from realism...
