Artist Statement
My work currently involves clusters of canvases painted in acrylic. I combine multiple pieces, creating the opportunity for each composition to produce a unique energy. The reduction to minimal materials allows me to explore possibilities. Some works juxtapose complementary colors, others explore the nuances of the monochrome. The intense color saturation results from numerous layers of paint, and the individual canvas hangs on a diagonal to create a more dynamic visual display.
