Portfolio Artist Statement Online Information   In The Garden, 2009 Oil on canvas, 48"x36"   Universal Principles, 2009 Oil on canvas, 48"x36"  Without directly referencing the natural world, I strive to convey a sense of place and underlying atmospheric presence. I want the viewer to inhabit this space and use it to move beyond the constraints of the rigid, thinking mind and into a visceral experience of color, shape, and movement. Within this realm the concrete and physical fade, leaving the plane of an inner landscape.
It's my goal that through communion within the more broadly interpretive scope of this abstract realm, my work offers a respite from our habitual way of interfacing with the world, encouraging people's examination of the forces that govern perception and experience, evoking unexpected associations and the viewer's own contemplative musings. |
