Texas Artist Collected Globally
Geometry Dreaming Freely
with Line, Texture and Pattern
Artist Statement
- The role of my canvas is a geometric theater of colorful contrasts, emotions, ideas, textures and shapes, but movement is paramount. After building a rich surface texture, I paint many layers of cool and warm colors to build visual interest for my viewers and collectors.
- Though some of my methods are calculated, I welcome intuition, spontaneity and accidental discoveries. I find inspiration for balancing these contrasts in modern architecture, nature, textiles, and in my smaller mixed media collages. I intentionally juxtapose organic shapes with geometric lines and grids, and admittedly, I never know where the elements may wander.
- My go-to shape is always a circle symbolizing God’s supernatural, eternal Presence amid our human tensions. My newest interest is the triangle and it's intersections with circles as I create more visible contradictions, as shown here.
