Nature Remembered: Original paintings on canvas. I go beyond mere interpretation and create portions of nature, remembered. Each painting starts out as a simple sketch that later goes through a subliminal process of change where the composition, texture and color morph spontaneously in my studio.
The act of painting itself struggles to survive in the competing world of high-tech digital media. Painting, for me, is a cathartic, hands-on process that enables me to link the past to the present through a combination of techniques using traditional oil, acrylic and sometimes spray paint. I juxtapose flat graphic elements with the varying modeled textures of the hand-painted surfaces. My goal is that the physicality of the painted surfaces, the captured lines, brush strokes, and fingerprints, hints at the personal relationship I have with both the creative process, and the natural world that captivates me.
