“Great to see the continuation of a wonderful flow of exhibitions.”
“Wonderful vision, great personality and courageous spirit.”
“I really enjoy seeing your technique; I’m a film major and your paintings give a cinematic feeling right off the bat.”
“The dimensions of your work transport me to a cosmos filled with inspired energy.”
Creative Process
My current process is using acrylic paint on wood panels, and I compose with tape to create a dynamic interplay of geometric forms, paint over the piece and then remove the tape to reveal a layer of lines and shapes, and then repeat the process in five to ten or more layers until I decide that a painting has fulfilled its potential and is complete.
As much as I was fascinated by Abstract Expressionism and the psychology of spontaneous painting, I also gravitated early on to the Minimalist grid-based work of Piet Mondrian, Agnes Martin, Frank Stella and many other 20th-century artists.
The creative process of painting, composing, editing and curating is something I often pursue through an extensive series of working on multiple pieces simultaneously, in order to nurture a sense of continuous experimentation and develop many originals that can be closely related yet explore similar themes in different directions.
