Artist Resume
Artist’s Statement:
The sources of my ideas are varied and interwoven, with the elements of nature playing a large role. Memories, impressions and personal symbols all figure in as well, as do occasional elements of pure abstraction. There is interplay in my work between appreciation of the natural world and the desire to organize and manipulate the visual surface. I use a variety of techniques for making marks and laying down areas of color, including some I learned many years ago as a printmaker. I build up many layers of paint, and also scrape, gouge, and dissolve parts of the layers so that underlying bits emerge. The result is a surface that is complex in texture and nuances of color. Thus there is a correlation between the organic look and feel of my work along with the process of making it. My goal is to evoke a personal, intimate response between the viewer and the work.
