Artist Statement
Creating ‘visual language’ through art reflects my fascination with the primal, symbiotic relationship between humanity and the natural world. In my paintings, I juxtapose organic elements and natural patterns with more abstract and imaginative landscapes – using color and design, layers of rich texture, collages of digital manipulated photographs, textual material, and found objects to reflect the infinite beauty of a sentient natural world.
My creative process is spontaneous and intuitive, employing the technique of applying and removing layers of paint to reveal the cosmic flow of life and to reflect the wordless discourse across all of nature, which is the eternal and essential conversation that is ‘visual language.’
My painting is at once abstract and figurative, balancing ambiguity with the familiar, in a style that allows elemental forms to evoke a transcendent reality.
