I create paintings that are visually and mentally stimulating. Using deep abstraction into non-objectivity, I push the perception of depth through manipulation of color and texture. Additionally, I incorporate fragments of the human body into my work. Not only does it intensify the viewer’s reaction and increases the sense of space in the painting, but it also is a way to explore how an actual figure might possibly interact with the painting as if it were a true three-dimensional space. I create images with an unclear suggestion of space in order to challenge the viewer to draw their own conclusions about the work. My works rely on the combination of chance and a thought process that is intensive and intuitive. These polar opposites fuel my process from the careful selection of colors, techniques, and media to the way I place the paint on the panel. In order to make these stimulating images, I use a complex series of layers of poured, drizzled, and manipulated paint, as well as the addition of found objects and plaster casts.
