Presentation

Artist Statement:

My process is to paint colors, shapes, and textures that are inspired by nature, music, and design. Memory plays a major role in the formation of the my abstract compositions. I often use visual elements from design and geometry to create an image that has balance and movement. I hope to engage the viewer by delivering a visual aesthetic that communicates experiences in natural and built environments. My major influencers include Paul Klee, Richard Diebenkorn, and Joseph Albers. I have recently been working with acrylics on Arches watercolor paper, stretched canvas, and wood panel. My work is in private collections and public spaces.
