Artist Statement
"Color has the capacity to convey emotion and is deeply connected to human feeling, sentiment, and sense of place. By creating abstract color fields with a strong emphasis on the emotional qualities of color, I attempt to allude to undefined, yet commonly felt human feelings. The color fields encourage viewers to temporarily leave their present state of mind and enter a world of abstraction, where color serves as the emotional catalyst and method of communication.

I use a layering process in my chromatic key construction, combining plaster and marble dust to create depth and texture with overlays of oil glazes. By adding the illusion of atmospheric luminosity with oil glaze applications, I attempt to add to the depth and levels of gradation of the human experience and its connection to color. By incorporating scratching and marking upon the surface of the canvas, I further attempt to add a component of tension between the universal language of color and the individual language and experience of myself as the artist.

Artists who have influenced me include; Helen Frankenthaler for her freedom of expression with color, Cy Twombly for reminding me to never lose the vision and freedom of child’s first painting, Vermeer for his brilliant use of glazing, and finally all of the unknown fresco artisans of Pompeii."
