***
For decades painting and drawing defined my passion for art. But in the early 1990's the seduction of photography diverted my focus and it was my artwork in photography that first gained recognition for me as an artist. With all the rapid technological changes that redefined photography by the late '90s, painting once again became my passion. Over the years the figure has always been my emphasis in painting, drawing and photography but the millennium brought a new direction when my fascination for the surface emerged. My work now incorporates years of experimentation investigating the narrative capabilities of non representational surfaces invigorated by raking, rubbing, gouging, and troweling thick and luscious paint onto the surface. By mixing colors on the canvas as opposed to the palette each swipe creates a unique combination of color and texture that never repeats. Color +Texture + Energy = a plethora of color narratives that have been influenced by current events, popular culture and abstract expressionism. ***
