The Creative Process...

Thought I would give you a glimpse into my creative process. There are so many stages and layers of paint in my paintings-some pieces more than others. This particular painting had many! You can see for yourself how different the two images are. The overall layout is similar, but once I gave the different areas of the painting more definition and color, the piece took on a completely different feeling. I am really happy with the way this one came out. What do you think? I would love to hear your feedback!

I enjoy seeing the process an artist goes through in creating a painting. I really like this one. The layers and texture capture my interest. I'm seeing a scrinched up face, like frustrated at the red square, at the same time the light green color is soothing and calming.; June 16, 2008 at 8:46 AM

Artist Statement

I believe there is a cycle to life. Things happen for a reason and there is a spiritual interconnection and balance between all that exists. This philosophy is expressed in my artwork, both intellectually and technically through spontaneous and experimental processes.
By use of color and texture my artwork represents a world in which the subconscious meets the conscious and imagination becomes reality. Each stroke on the canvas leads to the next, each color complements or contrasts another, and the process continues until the space that I have manipulated makes sense to me.
