ARTIST STATEMENT
"My interest lies in the exploration of the uses of color and the subsequent creation of texture. A brush, a palette knife, and a sponge roller lay on or remove color. My work is primarily the product of unintentional combinations of color and texture, which create new, unexpected results. Newness presents opportunity to change the direction of the work: decision-making of what parts remain and what is then removed. Blocks of color, the anti-form, detract from a subject, in favor of color and texture. My paintings have many layers. Some are unfinished works, and then reworked, which show thought the surface, insinuating another time, layer, life."
