ARTIST STATEMENT
I have been developing a vocabulary for my current work since 1996, which originates from the linear landscape of New York City. It has since mutated to geometric spaces and their relationships to each other while still adhering to its architectural origins. During the process, I devote my concentrations to composition and color relationships allowing the emotional story to unconsciously unfold. The feeling or environment that evolves during this process is often revealed in the title of the painting. I use marble dust and wax medium to invent different surfaces. The marble dust gives the paint a chalky look while the wax medium enhances the paint with a soft patina as well as giving a translucency, revealing the layers of paint underneath. Both mediums lend an organic feel to the oil paint.
