ARTISTS STATEMENT /

A work of art can be an abstract object as well as a representation of the real world. It can represent as well as being representational. My work in abstract art does not necessarily rely on specialized knowledge for interpretation, but I do draw on the real world for inspiration. I work principally in the mediums of traditional oil on canvas and print on paper. Oil paint has a translucence that allows layer upon layer of paint to be stacked and combined and a print can be the result of layers of ink and other media applied to the paper's surface. As the layers build so does the tension and balance between the colors, textures and shapes.
