Artists Statement
Capturing landscapes, I use my pallet knife to mix colors straight onto the canvas. While scraping away at each form, I unearth mountains, seas, and fields. I use swift motion and brush strokes to allow amplified colors and texture to come alive on the surface. I separate the natural curves of landscapes through geometric forms and simplify my compositions into big blocks of shape with textured planes. Whether I am painting from timeless memories or with the earth in front of me, I provide the viewer with an image of nature transformed into abstract moments of paint.
