Abstractionistic painting gives me the ability to transform my sensory and emotional experience into visual expression. My subject matter ranges through Conceptual, Floral, Humanistic and Scenic Terrains. These hold the planet’s most relevant history, and I strive to answer my questions about how we are affected. What is happening beneath the surface?  How can I show experience before knowing? Who or what existed before? Using color, line, layers, and multimedia as exploration in each painting, I strive to discover a sense about meaning, universal and personal. Although I begin with a semi-planned approach, each painting eventually becomes both more spontaneous and more labor intensive than expected until achieving its ineffable yet satisfactory completion.
