ARTIST STATEMENT
The paintings represent a bridge between drawing and painting, using rich textures, layering, mark making and transparencies. The paintings depict an ethereal and subliminal sense of place. The works use watercolor, gouache as well as acrylic on paper and canvas, acetate, plexiglass and canvas, sometimes including digital prints as a background layer. The controlled liquidity of the water based media creates an abstract atmospheric depth referencing sky, water and terrain creating a space ranging from the micro-biological to the macro-astrological. There are also references to the way the surface of the earth is transformed by geology and weather. My work recalls the beauty of landscape and nature in an abstract interpretation.
