artist statement
Style. I recognize a tendency in my artwork towards representational subject matter that is figurative as opposed to landscape in its simplicity. I look for strong, graphic darks and lights. I love emphasizing rhythmic shapes of bold color. The ideal subject makes me feel like it is swaying and thus rouses me to paint it. Recently, I’ve taken to doing an under painting with a thin acrylic wash on canvas, and layering it with a more loosely styled oil paint. This permits me the control and speed of acrylic with the depth and blending of oil.
