If we don't pay attention to our external landscape, which is our relationship to the earth, we're in big trouble. Landscape is the contemporary theme and it is my voice. I focus on how to dynamically define space in terms of flat surface. The use of color and texture form the underlying basis of each composition. As a process artist, I allow this relationship to evoke image and shape.
Depth is created through interaction between density and transparency of color.
Shapes appear to float on the surface or mysteriously receded into the canvas when the layering of color is juxtaposed against color. Structure further emerges as shape and gestural lines dissect the space bringing balance and unity to the final piece. While I consider my paintings to be non-representational, there is no doubt that imagery suggests itself into my work. No matter if I'm at home in the Southwest or traveling abroad in Europe, South America or Asia, the landscape and architecture in particular always inform my personal aesthetic. My intent the pure exploration of color and line.
