I am an artist concerned with the visual complexity of
Nature and its dynamic interaction of form and color. I draw a personal
vocabulary from repetitive elements of my surroundings, and each painting
or drawing is a direct response to the visual stimuli of Natures shapes
and patterns. I am passionate in reflecting the organic world of this interplay
of shapes and colors in my work. Integral to each work is the spontaneity
of the drawing and its linear underpinning, which gives the abstraction
of the piece an underlying figurative basis.
My work is constantly in flux, as I explore the line interacting with layers
of transparent luminous color and reworked surfaces. Each complex composition
allows the viewer to glimpse my outer world superimposed on a highly personal
inner vision.
