The iconography of my work, whether abstract or figurative, is transforming nature into abstract forms. Using landscape as a stepping off point, my work explores the manipulation of perspective, color, and form to create a unique awareness of a specific location. My works are interpretation of environments closest to me physically and spiritually. These paintings are derived from plien air painting experiences, photography and found objects that evoke memory and emotion to an environment. I choose to push organic life to a level of entropy and encourage the viewer to put preconceived ideas of landscape painting aside to become involved with the world on the canvas before them.
Through the layers of paint, forming of marks, scratching, scraping and layering, a depth and history that is unique to each piece becomes evident. The uniqueness is similar to the individuality that is found in nature. An individual's face, flower or sunset all have a sense of spontaneity but evolved over time. As the thoughts and emotions flow it is this buildup of marks and paint that excites me. creating something unknown. While making art, I'm able to encourage this unknown and it pushes me toward the finished work. I become involved in this exploration and immerse myself in the act of painting not representing an object. I have found the to be my purest forms of communication.
