A churning mind, a photograph, the way light falls across the bed in the morning, these are the prompts that nudge me into the studio to work on a painting. After I’ve put the first strokes of color on the canvas, I spend days, weeks, even months, trying to capture the right light. Space, line, color and balance are other elements I use to refine a painting. Immersion in the process is a joy, though sometimes a confounding one.

You’ll find a diverse range of subjects on my canvas –  figurative, landscapes, portraits, and abstracts. While my process is driven by impulsivity, with minimal pre-planning, I dedicate extensive time to editing and revising. I embrace risks and the unexpected discoveries that arise from working without a predetermined outcome.

This spontaneous approach to subject matter, combined with a variety of tools and mediums, likely contributes to the diversity of my art. I work with acrylics, oils, paper, ink, watercolors, and pastels. I often incorporate sanding into my process. Collage frequently plays a role in my pieces.

The final cut of my explorations with light and dark, color and line, mixed media and sanding machine is presented here. There are others waiting to be finished. Please inquire if you are interested.
