I paint because doing so takes me to a place of extreme creative pleasure. It makes me happy. I love to play with color and light in an abstract form.
I can transcend who I am through expressing my creative energy, which can be very healing and inspiring. I use a free-flowing style of painting with acrylics or cold wax and oil paint, adding texture by layering and layering the paint through movement, using brushes, paint knives, mark making and squeegee tools. At times I'll add additional texture through the use of papers under the paint, or as a final touch. As I paint, a color study starts to appear on the canvas and eventually the canvas transforms into something contemplative and abstract.
I want the viewer to be drawn into the paintings through the use of color, light, and composition, enabling them to evoke their own emotions from what they see. Their own view of the abstract painting is theirs' alone and may not be something I intended or even thought of as I was creating the piece. Through a vibrant and vivid palette I connect with human feelings and my own.
I give credit to all my life's experiences as to what I see, feel and absorb in the world around me as influences on how I paint in a free-flowing abstract expressionistic form. Being an abstract artist allows me the freedom to communicate feelings and emotions unconstrained by forms found in objective reality, through PAINT!
My work is constantly changing, I continue to take risks, find a new path, and express myself.
