Transition Series

My art is a response to years of independent study in numerous mediums and disciplines and a desire to create complex surfaces that incorporate multiple layers of color, contrast, shape. visual and physical texture. The process is a dynamic adventure where I intuitively guide cold wax and oil paint through a continuous interplay using various techniques, mediums and even some tools I find in nature. Each stroke of a squeegee or the scraping with a palette knife during this endeavor brings unexpected and often delightful outcomes. I strive to maintain curiosity without perceived notions as to what may come next throughout the process. I imagine the viewer embracing a moment to create their own story in my work.
