I am motivated toward self-expression and believe making art is a journey of self-discovery, and a constant attempt to define one's own vision of the world. I do not look outside myself for meaning, but instead express that which is most meaningful within. My mind’s eye never sleeps. I paint the abstract language of colors, forms and shapes using bold colors to provoke a feeling or sensation that engages the viewer in an emotional exchange with the work. My paintings personify the defining movements of twentieth century art, geometric abstraction and surrealism. The paintings at times expose the subconscious landscape of the mind. At other times, the canvas reveals the painted surface as the essential intention of the painting. I'm an expressionist painter and I approach the canvas directly. Many of my paintings integrate large geometric shapes defined by bold color combinations, in a subconscious universe where past and present exist simultaneously. I use an intensive application process which involves blending and layering acrylic colors and mediums on canvas. My paintings sometimes look airbrushed, but they are not. I achieve the effect with a unique brush technique. Translucent and opaque images are layered providing suggestions of meaning, while at the same time obscuring the meanings of the forms superimposed upon them. These paintings take on a dimension all their own. My intentions are to challenge the viewer to interpret each painting in their own way and to stimulate the subconscious by allowing the painting to guide you along its path.
