ABOUT THE ARTIST
I've been a graphic designer/digital illustrator for many years and honored
with awards in local, national and international design competitions.
As a painter of abstract art, I enjoy the tactile experience of using a real brush and
real paint as opposed to digital versions to express my creative visions. I no longer
miss having the undo button and instead go with the flow of whatever happens
on the canvas.
The interaction of color and texture, the feel of paint on your hands, the sounds of the
brush and palette knife on the canvas...much more rewarding than the click of the mouse
and keyboard.
When creating my paintings, my primary goal is to compel viewers to not only experience the work visually, but to feel the urge to touch them. Although my paintings are abstract, they can sometimes resemble landscapes as seen from above" or otherworldly skies.
My paintings are spontaneous, intuitive and organic. I like to experiment with different mediums,
textures and color combinations to create something unexpected and unique.
ABOUT THE ART
Layers of texture along with paper applied followed by several thin layers of paint. Tools used are brush and palette knives. No splattering or pouring used. Gloss varnish/resin completes the work.
