After more than a decade of painting my body of work typically gestures to landscape, seascape and cloudscapes. The fluid paints, tools and methods I use when pouring or using a brush often morph into an embodiment of these rather than an illustration.  I love working with blues and soft colors to depict and express nature with a more intuitive process approach to painting.  My abstract paintings typically evolve through building layers that often will start as an experiment of what is to come and end with a surprise of the unexpected shape, form or colors that happen. I don’t always know where my abstract paintings are going but when they are done there is usually a common thread of serene soft colors and a nod to nature . For the most part I want my viewers to feel the calmness and suggestions that I express in my abstract paintings.
