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...
