Artist Statement
My paintings are often full of movement, marked by restless, charging lines and swirling colors that telegraph elation and uplift. At other times, colors are muted and the sense of space overtakes the lines and forms, imparting a meditative quality. My aim is to visually express my emotional and spiritual response to my surroundings more often than suggesting their physical impression. When I paint, I turn to natural abstract forms such as the curl of a wave or the tangle of a thicket, but the rectilinear forms of man-made structures sometimes find their way in as well. Guided by the way nature creates and destroys, I start with a big definitive gesture, perhaps a calligraphic sweep of black paint or large fields of color, and then layer on and scrape off paint as I go along. The process is both spontaneous and analytical and results in the surprises and discoveries that mark any inward or outward journey of exploration.
