Explosion, oil on canvas
24 x 48 inches, 2006

    My paintings are a journey into an abstraction of visual reality, focusing on land- scape, views from my studio window and fascination with plant forms  found in my garden.

    I look at subject matter in a new way, exploring color, shape, line and movement into new relationships, creating an interpretive look of something familiar.

    The reality remains recognizable but challenges the viewer to experience the "scene" in terms of exhilarating color, interesting shapes, directional line and connecting patterns.

    The work has an expressive and intuitive character that conveys participation in the surrounding world.
