Biography
Welcome!
As you look through these pages, you'll notice a focus on composition, color, and texture rather than subject. When those three components are balanced, they create a whole that satisfies or speaks. Or maybe inspires, which is especially nice. Inspiration and connectedness are what I hope to achieve in making abstract rather than realistic art.
Two things usually sneak into my drawings and paintings: elements of nature and aspects of the spiritual. I'm interested in the relationship between past and present, light, freedom, color, and motion; and the many ways nature links us to the Divine. Often my landscapes suggest aerial views-with reference to flight, higher perspective, and seeing the world differently. I like to use words, iconography, and pattern . . . because I'm a word person and an OCD person. A fascination with old, worn surfaces-which convey so much human living-shows up frequently.
I use collaged, marked-up layers to develop paintings with a history that symbolizes history in life. I love the visceral look of paint slathered on a surface and the way it obscures or reveals drawing and marks. That process of building up layers of painting and drawing creates a story. I want the viewer to be lured in through the "story line" of a strong composition, and then come close for the quiet dialogue.
These are some of the feelings and ideas I try to convey in my work, but the thrill comes when it communicates. I hope something here sparks thoughtfulness, happiness, joy, a new perspective. If it does, please get in touch. I'd love to hear from you.
