About the Artist
“My work explores the rhythms, tensions and harmonies of the natural world, reflecting my sensory perception of patterns, energies, atmospheres and relationships. I invite the viewer to experience with me the interplay of color, movement, form and texture in my interpretations of nature. I work with the idea of 'above and below' and 'seen and unseen’ in my paintings. The landscape permeates my awareness of color and shape. The flights of birds, native flora, the Rio Grande and other rivers and arroyos continually visit my paintings. My chosen medium is acrylic and I work with negative space by adding and subtracting shapes while building the surface to create an overall glow.”
