Art is our primal language.
Art speaks to us in emotion, as well as to the intellect. It uses form, line, shape, color as its alphabet.
In my work, I use that primal language to describe my world. I favor bold colors and an economy of form. With each painting, I hope to strip away the extraneous, the unnecessary, and to give focus to a basic essence. I seldom paint faces. Better an empty space — or, at most, a transparent wash of color. I want the viewer to step inside the painting, to become the subject.
As a primal language, art speaks to us in shouts, whimpers, sighs and whispers. As an artist, I use that language to have the audience share our primal emotions —joy, fear, hope, sadness —and become part of the painting’s reality, to join its subjects’ experiences.
All the work on this site is original and available for purchase or exhibition.
