Artist Statement
Gauguin once wrote about
color as the language of the listening eye, that which helps our imagination
soar with inner power and mystery. From the beginning of my explorations, color
has always been my driving interest, and the primary power in my work.
By using oil and acrylic
paints as my surface, I create paintings emphasizing color juxtapositions and
interactions. The flow of color and line, shape and form become intricately
interwoven as translucent and opaque layers of glaze are laid down. Each
layer creates new forms that I respond to in making the painting.
I strive to combine
expressionism with cubism and yet make the paintings understandable to the art
critic and casual viewer. My work speaks to the universal human tendency to
appreciate beauty and to find meaning in abstraction. The appreciation of the
beautiful is an essential aspect of humanity, and there is a positive,
almost spiritual energy involved in the experience of the beautiful.
