My paintings are organically abstract.  I work with transparency, depth, and texture. I pour, direct, and manipulate multiple layers of thin acrylic paint, gels, and paper and recently began adding prints and other found materials. Painting is a very physical process for me - I like to see the paint react to different situations and conditions.  I find it fascinating to distort the paint by adding large amounts of water, gels, flow release, glass beads, etc.  Every pour is risky.  Covering a layer or a partial layer and hoping to reveal something better.

When looking at my paintings, I want the viewer to have an open mind, no preconceived ideas.  Walking away with their own idea of what they saw or felt.  To truly look requires a certain amount of openness.  My intent of the painting isn’t always what other people see.  That’s ok.  If the viewer really looks at the color, texture, depth, composition, or anything in the painting and feels something, then it’s successful.
