I paint on large canvases, but also create small works on paper, which include monotypes/chincole.
My approach to painting is analytical, playing with formal elements of design
and the compositional relationships between color, pattern, texture, and line. A limited
spatial tension can be seen in the occasional mix of dimensional objects in flat space.The figurative imagery
often references nature, simple design elements, or sketchy gestures which are personal imaginings and
fragments of visual thought.
Despite attention to careful analysis, I gladly embrace the accidental aspects of creation,
utilizing, and bringing life to the random mark. By mingling abstract and figurative elements,
I allow the viewer space for imaginative thinking.
