Artist Statement:
When thinking in terms of a
traditional oil painting;
basic properties of
foreground, mid-ground, and
background are present in
landscape, still-life, and
portraiture. My work contains
all of the elements of these
traditional ideas. Forms are
being presented in a
monumental way, and are
embedded within the idea of a
landscape or still-life. The
focus however is not on what
we would conceive as a
recognizable form, but on the
idea of what makes a three
dimensional form convincible
in a two dimensional format.
A shape and the edges that
encompass it or the contrast
of one color next to another
all lend to the illusion of a
tangible existence with a
minimalist approach. My work
deals more on the surface of
apparent as opposed to the
real, while making
distinguishable the individual
parts.
Forms are going about their
business in vast fields of
color. Shapes and ideas
couple together while being
reduced to their simplest
form. I approach my work with
the same concept that we
create, observe, and live.
