Color

I am primarily interested in color and in exploring the ways dialogue between color and shape or mark can change the meaning of color in the context of painting. I choose my color palette by observing the world around me; I initially discover the color relationships I use in the world, but often change them. The gestural aspect of my work and the repetition of elliptical marks come from personal movement and physical action. I am systematic in my approach; my intuition ultimately triumphs over my analytical self.
