Artist Statement

In exploring the world around me, I try to capture the beauty of contrasting colors and textures in nature.  Painting for me is an expression of my emotions.  The application of the paint to the canvas is a spiritual experience for me.  As I apply the paint to the canvas I create textured abstraction of landscapes and botanicals by mixing oil paints with a cold wax medium.  To achieve interesting textures, I build up layers of color and scrape with tools to reveal the hidden blends of dynamic hues.  i'm influenced by the work of the German expressionist artist, Gerhardt Richter.
