From the artist:
“Landscapes and organic forms are the subjects of my paintings. Music is incorporated throughout my pieces in a visual format. Although I complete most work within my studio, I also employ an interactive process of observation in nature to capture color, rhythm, depth, line, and atmosphere. For me, this is where the painting begins.
Once I connect with the subject matter, I begin the sketching process while incorporating various mediums to notate my experiences. I tend to push juxtapositions within the work, much like a musical composition. For example, I place light notes of color against dark deep forms. Or I may include big rhythmic swathes of paint that rest among quiet neutral spaces of patterned papers. My purpose is to create transformational art that marries both the three-dimensional aspects of my subject and the music it brings to the canvas.”
