Portfolio of Abstracts
My non-objective paintings are created with oil paint mixed with cold wax. My work expresses the duality of Structure and Fragility through the various textures, geometric shapes juxtposed to organic line. The application of numerous layers gives my work luminosity, movement and excitement. The textural qualities are both visual and tactile and derive from scratching, stenciling, printing, reduction, and brayering.
