Abstract Narratives
I love abstract art. But I love a good story too. So what I’ve set forth to do is create a body of work that embodies both the vague and the representational. Most of my work contains familiar elements joined together in original ways. I try to pick the moment before the true nature of the scene is revealed. It could go in any direction. Is it optimistic? Is it pessimistic? Is there harmony or is there dischord? I like the viewer to make those choices for themselves. I work intuitively and fairly fast. I enjoy painting on recycled pieces of wood because they have a lot of built-in character. I often let the surface dictate where the painting will go. Usually, I start by sketching in the design with pencil. From there I go to acrylic paint. Ink and/or more pencil sometimes wrap up a piece. |
