Abstract
The artist's statement: Moments of my life in nature are expressed through my paintings. Mark making gives me the ability to reveal new emotive and expressive qualities in my art; adding a new discovery process to my paintings. With each brush stroke and each new color, my paintings take on a feeling of when I am surrounded by nature. Focusing on the movement I feel when I am in nature, I am exploring the abstract world of painting. Nature inspires expressive gesture in my marks. In this body of work I focus on abstracting the natural world. Our world is imprinted by nature, I am expressing form from moments in nature and how each affects me. The natural world is always changing and moving, in my paintings I will continue to study this and how it affects me.
