My art utilizes marks to guide viewers into and out of the painting, inviting exploration of hidden and revealed layers. This interplay between concealment and revelation enhances the visual experience, fostering dialogue with the viewer. Through this approach, I aim to create art that captivates aesthetically and prompts thoughtful exploration of space, form, and meaning.
My Happy Places
In the "My Happy Place," "My Sedona," and "Abstraction Scape" series, I find inspiration from my time at the Sedona summer colony residency in 2018. Mesmerized by the mountains, their sweeping forms, and the vibrant tapestry of colors, I embarked on a creative journey. Exploring the natural marvels of the landscape, I experimented with sands and materials sourced directly from the surrounding environment.
About my technique:
I begin by constructing texture on canvas using an array of materials, laying down a foundation that invites exploration. Gradually, I build upon this texture, layering colors until the composition resonates with a sense of balance and tranquility.
