Biography or Personal Statement |
Abstract painting has always drawn me because I make paintings that are intended to elicit emotion depending on the makeup of the viewer. My work can be soothing, challenging, or upsetting. I don’t paint realism, because I prefer that the viewer respond without my directing him through realistic images.
My work is abstract color field in style. I use contrasting and harmonious colors with geometric shapes and free forms imposed over flat or textured surfaces. I favor strong colors in either earth tones or sharp arresting colors in opposition to each other. |
