ARTIST STATEMENT

My work has always served as an extension of how I view the things around me...

The negative and positive space; the play of forms moving and resting against light

As a painter I find I am passionate about color and the aesthetic sense of being it creates

Color creates perspective

Color reflects how we see the world around us

Working in layers, each layer leaves a veil of color and form

The process painter leaves unfinished stories- subjective to the viewer

As a modernist, I prefer to pay tribute to the 20th Century Masters with an undefinable palette which guides the studies of my work

Color is a viewpoint of dimension...
