Artist Statement
My work is an exploration of the materialism and organic nature of paint. It is less about the artist imposing order over the painting and more about responding to how the paint acts in a natural and spontaneous way. This exploration takes place through the creation of abstracted works that reinterpret the natural landscape. I feel that by creating paintings within the context of a landscape gives my work the structure it needs for viewers to form a connection. It provides a familiar perspective while allowing me the ability to explore different elements like opacity, translucency, and color choice. In Between, I wanted to use a more vibrant color scheme and use it to explore the issue of space and depth in my painting. I built up several layers of paint trying to mimic a real landscape that you would find in nature. I also created unique texture my letting the paint to move across the canvas and drying.
