My work is inspired by a combination of color texture and form. I respond to the rich source found in nature in terms of emotion, dimension and palate. I generate color and surface interest in my paintings by applying multiple layers of pigment, and often applying fabrics, newspaper or sand, to create a unique foundation on which to build.

I begin a painting very spontaneously and as the composition begins to take shape, it becomes a wholly intuitive process of gesture and mark making that has a direction and life of its own.

I find the creative process of painting an abstract piece totally absorbing and challenging to perform and the end result engaging  and insightful  to the viewer.  Each painting is a totally individual piece, and is the product of the evolution of my previous works.
