STATEMENT
My work, while largely geometric, utilizes theories found in nature to create patterns of color that entice the viewer to slow down, relax, and re-examine the simple, fundamental elegance found in all things. I seek to replicate the persistent repetition found in nature as a creative force to build up layer upon layer of color in a simple geometric context. The paintings invite you, the viewer, to visually explore the subtle variations within the canvases. Similarity and structure evoke familiarity and create a peaceful, balanced, and meditative environment. |
