Hurricane Winds

STATEMENT

I am inspired by a quote by Artist Perle Fine (1905-1988)- “I like to light up a canvas with colour; I like to make it shout or whisper; I like to make it spin…or make forms melt softly over the whole picture”.

I love using line and color as my primary tool of expression. Intense color is one attribute that all of my artwork has in common. I paint using either oil or acrylic, depending on the picture I am painting. My work shows movement and energy.

I use color to establish a balance that provides transformation and interface with the energy in my art. My pieces are created in many layers. I work so that something from each layer shows through to increase the sense of multiple dimensions and depth. A vision or feeling may serve as my inspiration.

Whether the finished piece is a highly realistic portrayal or abstract, I strive to infuse my art with a sense of obscurity and splendor. I have been painting for 25 years and have enjoyed my journey.
