My paintings are inspired by a passion for the landscape and the way light, color, and form come together to create a sense of place. I recall and interpret this sensual wealth using gestural brushwork and unexpected color, open to the viewer’s interpretation. I exaggerate and loosely interpret color, conveying passion, excitement, and moments of calm. I begin a new painting at the top and work my way down, working quickly to establish mood through color and composition. I allow the paint, drips and accidental color combinations to guide my vision. Often, a serendipitous moment happens in the process, inspiring me to expand and explore new ideas. I work on three or four paintings at a time which allows me to get some perspective and keep my work fresh. My paintings often don’t resemble their beginnings; they go through a continual process of change – more evolution than creation. Over time, I sometimes reinterpret the spirit behind my paintings, repainting older work, using the painting as a “jumping off point” for change and renewal. I let the process take me where it will.
