"The first thing many people see in my
work is color - shape first followed by
line. I fuse these elements to create a
space where my primary inspirations
(arboretums, copses, how people tend to
resemble trees if you practice looking
at them in the same way) can interact
visually - primarily in the abstract. When I
work I prefer the control that acrylic paint
affords me in hue and tint towards creating
a specific mood. Every color chosen is
very deliberate as often it is just the
slightest change in a tint that can make all
the difference in creating an exact
emotion. Alternatively, I achieve similar or
same results (with subtle differences)
when working in oil pastels and acrylics on
paper - particularly in terms of line and
dimension. Any figurative components
you may see in my work are a result of
ongoing figure drawing opportunities -
something I discovered I enjoyed taking
advantage of early on in my study."
