Artist Statement:
Abstract art for me projects
the landscape and snapshots of
memory and consciousness, two
parts of a greater whole which
is the spirit or soul. I
believe that the physical
world is only the surface of
things. My paintings come
from a place within me,
unfiltered by stimuli
manufactured in the physical
world.
As a self-taught artist, I
have found that
non-representational work
suits me best. Of course,
certain forms find their way
into my art as these
objects/forms have made an
indelible impression on my
psyche. Likewise, brush
strokes, scraping, rubbing and
numerous other techniques that
go into rendering a work is
all part of the painting.
When a viewer looks at my work
I want him/her to put away
pre-conceived notions of
reality; and, with any luck,
realize that these landscapes
and snapshots of the soul I
paint are inside and out each
and every one us.
