From the start my work has been inspired
by the architectural landscape most recently in Colorado and New Mexico, but I strive to infuse an atmosphere of spirituality in all the works that reflects a sense of place. The interplay
of the hard edge of architecture balanced with the random forms of
nature allow a connection to be drawn with the paint in a very
intuitive manner. Additionally, inspiration is drawn from Abstract
Expressionist artists such as Willem de Kooning along with a Fauvist
use of color which are evident in the paintings. You can see the
visual references in the spontaneous brushstrokes of each artwork no
matter what the media.
The figurative works are more intimately expressionistic with images that move in and out of the negative space. Some of them involk a sense of mystery and others use the same techniques as the architectural pieces to play against brushstrokes and edges.
