As an illustrator, photographer and graphic designer, the realm of painting offers the most true possibilities for spontaneous expression. As in any creative endeavor past influences, experiences and relationships around us combine to form ones own expression. My commercial work and painting reinforce and enrich each other.
About my work
As an artist and a designer, working shape, color, line and movement are what make up the evolution of process. That process is what excites me.
We may never truly know ourselves, but for me, the marks, shapes, images, color and movement on the surface reveal what we cannot express in any other way.
My first realization that drawing was magic occurred when I was in the first grade. Crayons clutched in hand, our teacher instructed us to close our eyes and just draw on the paper in front of us without lifting the crayon off the paper. While studying the resulting curves and lines that intersected, converged and diverged a thousand possibilities emerged. Images took shape in ways I could not have planned or imagined. It is that play of instinct and intuition that guides my exploration of painting which always informs, surprises and questions!
