The paintings I create are a process of exploration.  I believe like Canadian painter Lawren Harris who says that "paintings come out of themselves".  This is how I approach my art. Usually I do not paint with a pre-conceived idea.

There are no messages or hidden agendas in my work, other than to reveal the discoveries made during my investigations. Perhaps I do take cues from familiar  surroundings, my personal relationships, and my life experiences

There is, of course, the seed of an idea or a bit of a plan when I begin, but I am quickly directed by the work, answering the needs, sorting the puzzles and discovering solutions. I work with layers of thick and thin color, and I use tape or contact paper to block out or save areas of color and texture.

I love color and colors working together.  Many times I will select a particular color scheme and go from there.

Currently I am working in non-figurative abstract art where the viewer needs to lay aside all preconceived ideas of what a painting should be.  Hopefully when someone views my work, they will simply let themselves be stirred by the movement of ideas in their unconscious mind.
