How the two disciplines are layered help to create a strong visual texture and are often inspired by landscapes and natural forms. Pattern, texture, shape, line and color are woven together to transform the spirit of each composition. I invite the viewer to respond.
These paintings offers a place of escape, a space for introspection.I want the viewer to be pulled in different directions, drawn into the real and abstract images of nature. The place where living naturally occurs can be interpreted in different ways. It is my focus to transpose the mood and spirit of each painting into a tactile fabric of paint. The viewer can determine his or her own narrative.
