Artist Statement
Nov. 2004
My art is often related to nature as I feel a strong kinship with
Mother Earth. Patterns of organic shapes, colors and spaces have always
intrigued me, and I enjoy abstracting these elements to create images
that excite me.
While designing my work on canvas or board, I
work out a composition that looks right to me, paying attention
to how the negative spaces fit together with the objects; the
values of light and dark, the hues of color and how they all
interact with one another. Combining these actions reminds me
of putting a three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle together. I prefer
to use an impasto style of painting to create textures in my
work. This style expresses the variations in surfaces of natural
elements, which fascinate me. |

In addition to the variations in the surfaces in my work, I also
strive to create images that convey emotions and moods. My goal
is to convey these feelings by combining texture and color in a
way which I hope become interesting to the spectator.
