Paintings
Printmaking2020
My paintings are created as reactions to incidents, conversations, or dreams. I find great inspiration from nature, particularly the different texture of objects, and I enjoy superimposing shapes of both natural and artificial origin. I am most comfortable working in abstraction, but my abstractions are connected to something real and the titles are clues for what they may be.
I work in oil paints, primarily on watercolor paper. I begin each painting with an idea in mind, yet this idea may change as the image or textures send me in another direction. The paint is applied thickly at the start. Once the painting is dry I rub, sand or scrape to change the texture and then apply thin layers of paint.
I have begun to explore printmaking. Making block print cards and prints usually with water themes. I look forward learning more and trying new techniques in the future
