About the Artist
I use the action of painting and color to exercise inner dialog into movement. Movement that can be seen and felt. Movement that changes the space it inhabits. I look for the hidden and internalized through obvious marks.
I find my best work is through improvisation. A resourcefulness that leads to invention. I often work with what is presented by simple mark making to discharge energy and ideas. I’m drawn to these ideas and the marks that surface in my work. I’ts my intention to create space for effort and problem solving. A dance of physical and mental imagery. My goal is to reveal the essence of these ideas and include the viewer in my assertions and offer new possibilities.
