making the work
Whether in my studio or in plein air, my paintings evolve organically. In the beginning, the line, shapes and composition is abstract in all aspects. The figural forms that sometimes appear emerge from the interlocking shapes that present themselves during the media application. Once they’re identified, it’s difficult to see past them, and the layering and defining process begins. Pushing and pulling, shifting and refining until I step back one final time.
