ARTIST STATEMENT
Needing to paint is a mystery, but in this experience, I sense a connectiveness to the world
and a grounding of my occupancy. As I plod my way through self imposed studies, I’m
pulled towards movement and lyrical lines that weave space together. Enjoying the
constructive phase, whether it be landscape or figure, I respond to and build shapes and color
as the image transcends from person / place to expression...allowing the answers to unfold,
…
never going in with a preconceived idea. I’m often absorbed in a dance, or pull, in the form
as contours / shape / color play within the structure… this movement holds my attention
while planes and space are developed. In the end, I try to bring a simple authentic vision to
the canvas.
