ARTIST STATEMENT
The context from which I draw inspiration to create art is the knowing that We/All Are One. Through the choice of color and formless form, my paintings intend to reawaken that knowledge in people. I invite you, the viewer, to consider the sensations stirring inside yourself. Yours will be different from mine, and it will be the same.
Through your recognition of an awakening in yourself, the art will touch you, bringing up the possibility of questioning your response in conjunction with or in opposition to others who view the work. It might be immediate or happen later.
The work is dynamic in nature, and causes you to be an active participant in your seeing. It is like a tennis match between the painting and you, as new forms emerge and the eye bounces from color to color, shape to unshaped shape. It is not my intent to cause people to view my paintings one way, but rather they are to be a catalyst for the mind to open.
I paint using a palette knife, applying the paint directly to the canvas and working with the paint to integrate it. Boundaries disappear and hence the separateness, the distinctness of form and shape. The colors blend and connect, hide and reveal. Your inner vision merges with your senses to create what you see in the painting; you read your Being in the painting.
