I work out of an abstract expressionist tradition. I have always tended toward abstraction because I have always preferred to embark on the creative process without any preconceived notions about the outcome. I am seeking a journey into uncharted territory. This journey allows for a certain amount of texture and mark making to happen on the surface of the picture plane. The work evolves into a complex arrangement of shapes, forms, textures and colors, through a layering process. I layer transparent and opaque forms, shapes and calligraphic marks that go in and out of focus, creating an ambiguous space. These are imagined landscapes that aim to reveal themselves slowly over time as opposed to being accessible all at once.
