Open interpretations interest me in my painting process and final product. The philosophy of ever present change and the physicality of motion and movement in my work is my goal.
After my father passed away in 1996, I packed a backpack with my watercolors, camera, hiking boots and a journal; and started a year long, solo journey around the world. A journey through 21 countries; during the last glimpse of romantic travel before the pre dawn of the internet.
The memories of my travels are imprinted ‘abstractions’ in my mind that find translation and expression in my paintings. My paintings are conduits between the subconscious to the conscious world. The travel I took around the world has transference in the way I travel through my daily routines and creative process. I love and thrive on change.
My application is directed by an intuitive and ever changing process of paint application. How I apply the paint, and what kind of paint I use, and when. It’s the journey of the unexpected which inspires my painting experimentation. The unconscious forcing the conscious to be alert and awake for it’s beauty.
