ARTIST STATEMENT
Nineteen years of mostly self-taught drawing and painting experience focusing on Expressionism, Symbolism, and Outsider Art. Using my spiritual and emotional instincts, I paint what I feel more than what I see. My paintings are intuitive, speaking about what might be rather than what is. I do realize, however, that people relate to physical images that they know. Therefore, fairly representational images appear in my paintings on a regular basis.
When painting, I enjoy working in layers. I enjoy achieving diversity through the use of soft and hard edges, thick and thin paint, complementary colors, contrasts, glazing and dry brushing. I also enjoy creating black and white, mainly graphite drawings.
My mission is to share beauty, depth, meaning, and capriciousness with those who get to know my pieces of art.
