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.
