Painting is a process of self discovery. My main concerns in painting are color, mood, rhythm and spontaneity. Music, nature, dreams and the subconscious all play a part in the formation of my work. Watercolor and oils are my usual media. The current body of work is oil & cold wax on Arches oil paper, mostly abstract. I work intuitively but with intention, playing with combining abstraction and natural spaces. I strive to suggest rather than depict a scene and/or stir up a memory. I like mystery and ambiguity in a painting. Where one viewer might see a scene through a rain streaked window, another experiences a veil of tears. My work has been influenced by the Abstract Expressionists, Chinese landscape painting and Japanese woodblock prints.
