Artist Statement

 

I create color and texture driven paintings on a medium to large scale and my work has an impasto style. I use a palette knife liberally and appreciate beautiful brushstrokes and my aesthetic tends to combine all of these elements. It is a joy and a challenge to experiment with color and I do so by switching from a full palette to a limited palette. My goal is to create an abstracted interpretation of life.
