Artist Statement:
I begin each painting
with intuitive marks, and
respond to those marks on both
emotional and formal levels.
Each painting reflects my
personal connection to the
landscape, as well as memories
triggered by color
relationships that evolve on
the panel.
Color and mark-making
vary depending on what energy
is driving the piece. The
palette is very personal;
certain colors are painted
decisively, while others are
intuitive and repeat
themselves until I understand
where they are derived from.
By using several media, a
variety of surface textures
are created. Some areas are
left translucent while others
are built up lusciously with
paint and wax. Explosive,
erratic marks melt into
sensuous, poured passages that
suggest deep, atmospheric
space. I feel that these
surfaces reflect the varying
states of observation and
memory I use to create my
paintings.
I have no preconceived
notion of composition.
Throughout the process of
painting, I rotate the piece,
working it from all sides,
both on the floor and on the
wall. Each painting sets up
the challenge of balancing
formal elements while
investigating a personal
experience.
