Bio & Artist's Statement

Painting Statement

“I design the density of my painting surfaces to draw you in to interpret their meaning through your own experiences. Their titles are minimalist to further encourage your involvement in this aesthetic experience. Please enjoy. My paintings abstract nature into linear divisions of color and texture divided by metal rods that reference my sculptural background where I developed my love of intriguing textures. They are an emotional not as literal response to the beauty of our world.”
