About the Work:

“As an abstract painter, I have an ongoing fascination with the interplay of visual elements and design principles. With a strong interest in contrast, my objective is to create relationships between such dichotomies as light & dark, smooth & textural, organic & geometric, motion & stillness, weight & balance. My imagery often derives from nature as well as geometry, with the intent to pair contrasting images and content. The abstractions can be read as close-ups or symbols of natural elements with the focus on shape, line, texture, color & pattern and arranged to accentuate the order and rhythm often found in nature. Compositionally, I am intrigued by Asian art and early modern art for its spatial defiance and ambiguity within the picture plane. In my work, I often crop images to create fragmented or sliced formats; flattening and restricting space to establish a sense of tension and mystery.”
