Shape and form, line and edge, color and surface design, are all of most importance to me in the process of composing a painting. I elect to use treasures, possessions and familiar objects as a means to convey these things.It is the composition of chosen shapes and forms that will define, for me, the basis of a successful painting.
I like to activate these chosen shapes and forms with color and surface design.
Color is charged with power and meaning. I use if to project mood and to manipulate visual movement, depth and direction. It defines volume and further grants me playfulness.With the emphasis of juxtaposing and overlapping surface design, form is further defined by its edges – Its lines. And movement flows along these lines.
