Notes From The Artist
"My paintings begin with an intense immersion into the natural world. From there I extrapolate certain patterns and systems: how a stand of trees works together or the merging of water currents in the ocean. These are the inspiration for this series of paintings.
"I begin free form on the canvas, slowly building up layers of paint and brushstrokes. Once a certain level is achieved, I apply large minimal forms to the canvas, layering the paint colors one at a time. I am continually tweaking the paint colors until they begin to cohabitate with each other. The shapes in the paintings intentionally take up most of the space allowing for only a small amount of background to be visible. Sometimes only the texture of the previous layers can be gleaned from a certain angle. This subtlety is important to the paintings.
"Working intuitively, forms and colors are built up in a slow progression until the resulting work feels complete. My intention is to activate the space of the painting and imbue it with a particular feel or emotion. There is a certain balance I am looking for between the larger painted shapes and the layers beneath them. I want the shapes to push back against the confines of the canvas and employ a sense of gravity and space in the painting.
"The slight angle of a tree trunk, a series of telephone lines, or a particular pattern of water flow become communicators of emotion, feeling and experiential place. A blending occurs between the simplicity of form and the complex nature of thought, bringing the resulting work to its essence."

Artist Statement
"My paintings and sculptural constructions begin with an intense immersion into the natural world and an obsessive interest in observing how objects hold memory. Working intuitively, I’m interested in how the subconscious comingles with the physical through recognition, observation and instinctive mark making. My work is concerned with activating this space in the painting. Perception and the way space is inhabited, directly impact my understanding of the world. In my work, they are altered, tweaked, inflated and compressed.
"The slight angle of a tree trunk, a series of telephone lines, a slept in bed or a particular pattern of water current become communicators of emotion, feeling and experiential place. A blending occurs between the simplicity of form and the complex nature of thought, bringing the resulting work to its essence."

Letting Go - Limited Edition Canvas Print is beautifully framed with a bold color palette and a big splash of white. It reminds me of an ocean wave, I love looking at it. Very happy with my purchase.
On a weekend stroll in Westport, I visited Sorelle gallery. It a welcoming environment to display works of art. Two artists caught my eye. Having a specific spot to place a piece, I looked at original works, but the originals didn’t fit. Exploring canvas prints gave me more options and I found one I love. It works in the room beautifully and brings me joy every day.
