Woodbridge, VA
I consider each painting a new artistic journey. I am interested in the experimentation of color, light, luminosity, and composition. There is intense interplay between organic flow and structured ideas and the limitless possibilities that lie between. My paintings are driven by chance as I add, subtract, layer, mix, and blend paint to create a unique composition. During my process, ideas emerge providing new opportunities and directions for me to explore and expose – but, I am also aware of my original scope of work which is structured and planned. The calm, peaceful and harmonious compositions often resemble “dreamscapes” of the landscape – a sunset, the weather or even a season, but, all are subject to interpretation. For example, "Destiny", I originally planned for this to be abstract, yet, I now look at this as a sky with a horizon. My inspiration can come from a variety of sources including personal experiences, immediate surroundings, music, and the enjoyment of simply being creative. There are pieces that are densely and aggressively painted, and others that possess a more luminous and tranquil quality. I want my paintings to make you feel something and I use a range of color, mood, style and composition to get you there.
