New Paintings - Spring 2018

For me, Art has its own language, and much like music and it can be mysterious at times. It can share insight, feeling, sensation, and memory, even a sense of taste...

There is joy and freedom in making the something invisible come to lifeand then to share it… something personal, or universal, something beautiful or at times secret. Reaching into deeper levels to see what happens.

What inspires me? 

The divine mystery of nature, its interesting forms and patterns, 

To make the complicated ‘simple’, linking past and future to

present, uncovering something lovely, finding beauty in unexpected ways,
a form of poetry within the body of our being ... without words.

Abstract painting allows of all this and more.

My normal color palette tends to run in earth colors and muted tones. 
That’s were I’m most comfortable. Balance and light are the principal guides, probably from being a photographic artist utilizing black and white selenium tones for so many years.  We’ll see where it leads to next!
