Painting
Art is a expression, an exploration. Each piece is an experience. My paintings can be a “happening” where the creative process is a direct abstraction of the physical world. This is not just observation but the foundation of mark making and its personal message or symbolism. Artistic creation records thoughts, events, feelings, and an inner world or pattern that can be read by others for its aesthetics qualities and beyond, into the realm of beauty. The concept of beauty is innately present in my idea of what art is. My art is both discovery and perception, combined with intellect. In some of paintings I use a variety of materials in an alchemic way, seeing how materials react together evolving into creative, original works of art. I want the audience to have a imaginative aesthetic experience and a positive response to the work.
