"Art is not an object, art is an experience", -Josef Albers.
Disengaged by the rules of realism, I freely explore emotion, time, space, and subject matter through color interaction, form, movement, and texture. Influenced from studying color theory with Leonard Stokes, a student of Josef Albers , utilizing Alber's teachings on the interactions of colors, and how those interactions alter color perception. It's in exploring those altering perceptions where I find my subject matter. I play with color variations within organic and geometric forms, sometimes tightly contained, and sometimes in a free flowing, expressionistic style. When I'm painting, I'm seeing to the dialogue between colors, and exploring those relationships.
I work primarily with acrylics, and some of my paintings will incorporate modeling materials, to give the canvas (or wood panel) additional textural interest.
