I am interested in exploring the components of the visual experience. Why and how certain visual combinations affect us in deeply profound ways is the focus of my work. My current work has been most influenced by the work of the Abstract Expressionist painters of the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s, specifically the “monumental”, large scale paintings of this genre.

In all my work, a sense of the physical is very important. Brush in paint, paint on canvas. While I have created representational works in the past, today I am focused on the challenge of reconstructing a tactile emotionally charged experience, full of energy and joy, that captures the “feeling” of a specific visual experience without using any representational symbols or words.
