Artist Statement
Making art is always a challenge. The sensory involvement and visceral stimulation needed requires a commitment - a commitment to struggle through the process - enjoying the moments of success and triumphing over the ever-present grind of making compositional selections of color, line, value or shape.
Non-representational paintings compel me to surrender to my intuition and to trust my inner-urge to experiment. The process of continually making choices and decisions-- what to add, what to keep, what to eliminate, what to repeat and ultimately, when to stop--is both daunting and exhilarating.
The thrill of a uniquely textured surface, the contrasting interplay of warm and cool colors, the surprise of unplanned subtleties are some of the factors in my highly personal, solitary painting experiences that inspire me each time I begin a new painting. The knowledge that there will always be another blank surface for me to paint serves as my ultimate inspiration.
