Artist Statement

I am intrigued with the random and fixed patterning found in nature and how the intrusion of human-made forms interacts with these patterns.

I have personalized the natural forms in these paintings so that they hint at something real, but are not. Therefore the viewers, with their own background of visual experiences, will be sparked to associate memories and feelings with these shapes that are meaningful to them. The geometric divisions become architectonic forces that push back and then forward on or amongst the patterned surface of the canvas. Thus a delicate interrelationship is established between the structured and organic elements which I hope will cause a dialogue between myself and the viewers – I present, through form and color, my feeling about man and nature, and the viewers are stimulated to bring, due to their own sensibilities, additional interpretations to these relationships.
