Artist's Statement
I consider myself to be an abstract expressionist who uses colors, textures and movement to create various spaces. Sometimes my images are taken directly from a figure or landscape; other times they are purely abstract.
What compels me to paint is the pleasure I receive from the act of painting. It is the process and not the end product that motivates me. Most of my paintings and monotypes are made in the studio but occasionally I work directly from nature. I use oil or acrylic paint on canvas, or water based inks for making monotypes, applying various techniques to achieve the colors, light and textures that I want. My goal is to express the feelings I have about my experiences in nature.
