When
viewers see my work, I hope they sense in my unusual organic forms a love
of the natural environment- desert,
mountains, ocean, the vast sky, even the cosmos. I paint spontaneously,
trying to capture the fluid motion and energy.
On
both medium size and large formats, I like to use bold acrylic colors to
create dynamic patterns which seem to erupt
from the canvas with volcanic force. In some of my mixed media work, I
place color over prepared layers of different substances
or I incorporate pieces of natural rock and stone to achieve heavily
textured surfaces. As an artist for over 25 years, I have been
mentored by Laddie John Dill and by teachers whose visions were strong,
vivid and dynamic.
