ARTIST STATEMENT

 

My recent body of work delves into a meditative journey through the exploration of boundaries; where I embrace the challenge of compositional twists and turns. Adopting an aerial perspective when approaching these objects, my paintings transform into visual landscapes of undulating color and shape. While still lives maintain their inherent control and stability, each composition holds a veil of mystery as I work to find the hidden formal connections as the painting unfolds. This process continues to pique my interest and ultimately drives my work.

My focus revolves around the deliberate arrangement of objects that have formal and conceptual relationships. My artistic struggle lies in the challenge of what subtle nuances to include and what to omit. This at times lets me faithfully create colors true to life, while also taking the liberty to embellish to create harmony and repetition as the composition demands.
