STATEMENT
Artistic Statement: My paintings make use of contrasting bright colors and complex textures to achieve a conscious rapport between dynamic elements: active potential in repose. I use stylistic techniques usually associated with abstract painting (splattering, intense color, heavy texture) in rendering simple representations (nudes, ocean scapes). The paintings emphasize qualities of impermanence and interrelation as the context for life and its creations. |
