Contemporary fine artist creating large abstract compositions.
Artist Statement
I was introduced to art at a young age by my grandmother, an accomplished oil painter. I have painted all my life. I live in Largo, FL and spend summers in Highlands, NC with studios in both locations. Sailboats to Bears, Trawlers to Cabins, Waterfalls to Sunsets – these were my inspiration for a long while. As with so many artists, over time my work became looser, more expressionistic, large and mostly non-objective. I now classify myself as an Abstract Painter.
My works are mostly large and are mostly about the process. They feature texture, light or heavy; marks of all kinds; deep colors; patterned backgrounds; drips and various mediums. They convey energy, lyrical or frenetic. They convey mood, serious or lighthearted. I find the painting process exhilarating. I feel successful when I believe the last one is my best one. I am intrigued with the comments and interpretations of my viewers. While a few are difficult to plan and execute & others come easily, I usually think “What fun that was!” when I finish.
