In
my paintings, I explore the relationship
between line and space, using the basic
shape of the circle. I love nature and
the simplicity of such forms as the
spirals and circle, and am working on
drawing out a sense of depth and
movement. I hope my paintings have a
spiritual effect on the viewer, drawing
them in and getting lost in the abstract
world of color.
These paintings are all
interrelated in that they are based upon
one original "mother" piece. In
subsequent pieces, I go deeper into the
work and try to abstract and either
simplify or complicate the line of the
original work. Therefore, the works are
relatives of each other, all lines based
upon, and repeated, in the pieces. I use
a somber palette of grays and blacks,
never painting right from the tube, in
order to maintain greater control of
warmth and coolness. Then I use vibrant
rich saturated colors to play with the
balance of the medium-hued background.
