ARTIST STATEMENT
We live in a turbulent time when the forces of disintegration and integration seem to surround us on every side. Many times, the response to this reality is one of confusion and anxiety.
My work seeks to counteract these responses through the power of abstract beauty. Beauty – that is a source of comfort and tranquility for the troubled soul. Beauty – that is born from the unification of diverse elements and the harmonizing of color. Beauty – that arouses the emotions and awakens thought. Beauty – that brings joy to the heart and opens the mind to reflect on the mysteries of life.
Most of the work in this exhibition is new and comes from “The Hidden Words Series.” Paintings and drawings that have their origin in text-based abstraction – using the symbolic power of words and letters in such a way as to create mystery. It is not my intention by incorporating text to make a statement or to manipulate thought. Rather, it is to provide a deeper level of conversation between the painting and the observer.
Thank you for visiting the exhibition. I hope you enjoy the work.
