I create my artwork to communicate feelings and ideas that cannot easily be expressed well in words. Dreams, emotions, and memories are often considered abstract and lacking in comprehension. Abstract painting gives me the opportunity to create an emotional and physical artwork that someone else can repeatedly enjoy
As I explore the use of light and shade through color and movement, I recognize that the control we all want to exert in our lives is often paired with uncontrollable growth and change.
Alcohol inks can be deep or transparent, they can be controlled and totally uncontrolled. Perhaps an apt description of my artwork...deep and transparent, controlled and uncontrolled.
