These are new paintings
that explore
color and materials.
The dynamics in these expansive paintings are spontaneous and high energy. Combining water-based paint and mixed media, these paintings on canvas have softer, more fluid edges than my previous work.
These paintings are about everything and nothing at the same time – they have both a gravity and a weightlessness. I am at once the witness and the doer, refusing to sit quietly as I establish a new language that identifies and pushes the limitations of images. In doing so contradictions abound. I try to welcome that paradox. This is the place where an idea and the materials agree to meet and a dance begins between my curiosity and the translucent, materiality of the paint.
