Artist Statement
My current series of paintings on canvas or paper represent nature in loose suggestions of landscape and waterways. I apply layer upon layer of mono colored pigment fields to create an illusion of depth and space. The painted surface is drawn into or incised resulting in a textured ground with calligraphic markings. The inspiration for these forms comes from my linear sketches made while traveling by land, sea and air.
