Artist Statement
My abstract paintings emerge in a realm that spans two dimensions to three as I bring sculptural sensibilities to canvas as object. Conversations improvised between color and form and texture evoke energy and movement. Along the way that interaction inevitably broaches the edge veering from balance, much the way a jazz riff can draw upon a simple idea to explore evolving possibilities.
SERIES:
Time and Place: "To go eastward one mile is to go westward one mile." Shunryu Suzuki
Shibori: inspried by the shades and fluidity of indigo and waters
Music: visible sound, emotional adventure of composition or improvisation.
Earth: geology, shifts, rifts, faults, structures.
Realms: ephemeral views from the corner of the eye.
Windows: discrete events connect when massed in collections.
