About
Statement
With an emphasis on non-objective, abstraction, and sometimes the whimsical, my process employs an experimental and intellectual exercise in puzzle solving…assembling and balancing the pieces to find a “comfortable” or “comfortably uncomfortable” compositional pose. Rotating elemental emphasis on shape, form, line, texture, color, and neutrality of color or subject using varied materials on canvas provides me with a broad range of creative possibilities, continual challenges, and inspirational sources.
Upon completing a piece, I disengage from my work and, as an observer, often discover a familiar object or a latent abstract concept illustrated. Individual viewers may become participants in my creative process by overlaying their personal experiences in perception, beliefs, interpretation, and ultimate connection or indifference to a piece. Titling or post-hyphen titling is occasionally a viewer contribution.
