EBB & FLOW

My paintings explore the exchange of energy that I feel in the natural world.  Gathering fragments of sensory experience from my local environs I work from memory. This is how it ‘feels.’  Often my starting point is a series of gestural lines that express a memory or experience of place. Through addition and subtraction of paint and marks I build a dialog with the surface below until the layers suggest a deeper history. Music is always in the background. In the span of one day, a painting can change completely as new elements or relationships are discovered - truly the ebb and flow of my painting dance.​​
