Color is a remedy for me. For over ten years I have been painting in sequences of colors and shapes.
This evolution began with drops of paint that I created from a dropper, which I would then configure into extended lines. The lines have changed from zooming in and out to framing a central space. Painting in series, I experiment with off color combinations and use solids and washes to balance, bright fluorescents, pearlescents along with earth and neutral tones.
In creating shapes on the canvas, I first began by painting triangles – I thought about how their lines created the shape. Now, I think about both their lines and their edges developing a central space. I am interested in how geometry creates expansive color space.
My work is the human element tied with expansiveness. The hand-made shapes wrap around the edges which creates a center in each painting. The middle of the paintings is a zone of intense of color. I want to saturate the viewer with color.
