Artist Statement
I am an abstract painter merging landscape and expression.
My paintings are inspired by places I have been. I will paint over the first layers of my paintings and continue with additional layers to create thickness of application with a depth that mirrors the deep layers in memory.
In every area of my paintings you can see the heaviness or lightness of my brush strokes as I work to express feelings associated with my thoughts of places I have experienced.
The colorful memories that inspire my paintings include times spent in special locations like the West Shore of Tahoe, Monterey Bay and The San Francisco Bay Area.
Thinking about my experiences as I paint, I find the colors and shapes coming through in the painting, giving each one its own unique feeling and ambiance that hopefully evokes a positive contemplative response from the viewer.
