My art is about light, time, perception, beauty and memory. My abstract paintings evoke the perception of nature. The viewer will respond to the sensuous atmosphere of moving through a lush environment: the luminosity and texture of water, trees and open space.

Water and light are my primary references. Depicted simultaneously from above and below, water reflects and absorbs the light, which moves through the water’s layers of dark color into deep fluid space. I want to evoke the feeling of being in water, being underwater, swimming in water and looking at water. Water represents a nocturnal hidden space and functions as an allegory for sleep, dreaming and remembering.

My palette of rich blacks and shades of gray, muted color and diffuse light will stimulate the viewer to experience personal memories of nature and elicit an intimate response.
