Contemporary Artist Specializing in Paintings, Drawings, and Objects
The evocative power of color, the physical beauty of contrasting materials, and the desire to convey luxuriant feelings inspire my imaginary worlds in paint, paper, and relief/collage constructions.
Painting - Concrete and Dreamy
Drawings - Sensitive and Evocative
The drawings begin with direct observation and are concerned with quality of line and shape relationships. Sensitivity to drawing materials and the immediacy of drawing as a process carry each work along an improvised flow to the edge of abstraction. Ambiguous, romantic, mysterious shapes suggest evanescent scenes.
Constructions - Whimsical and Harmonious
Whimsy and beauty combined is magic. Rotund forms, delicate layers against hard materials, active edges, and sweeping curves allude to the faceted freedom of birds, animals, and flowers. Delighting in contrasting surfaces, the constructions express joy in juxtaposition, evoking humorous characters and elusive creatures in an idealized world.
