Artist’s Statement
I respond to my surroundings, feelings and emotions that translates into color, visual memories of form and color found in the landscape, cityscape and personal inventory of imagery. I use various media; colored pencils, charcoal, oil, acrylic, photography, anything that fits the moment or resultant of the tools and surfaces on hand. The work process is one of constant experiment and change— building layers of color, form and image on the surface revealing underlying layers that direct the work. My photography is most often a search for the inconspicuous and obscure. The work is not planned, it is discovered; an exciting and invigorating evolution.
