Artist's Statement
Color creates space…space unites color. Uncluttered compositions, bold color and balanced structure are core values in my abstract work. My non-objective works consist of two mediums: mixed media prints and carved, painted wall objects. Both originate from printmaking and celebrate the uplifting nature that color can bring to our lives. A reduced color palette and geometric shapes derived from architectural forms, reflect my minimal and graphic principles. My art embraces my gravitation towards order which offers the observer a chance to pause and a space to contemplate. These aesthetics provide a sense of harmony to counteract and reduce the uncertainty and noise in our world today.
