My current paintings take direct inspiration from the movements during the process of painting, i.e. my gesture. It is because of this “free” technique, that I am able to be in that unique moment of creation, rather than trying to struggle to get the lines and shadows “right”. Color and value are considered only after the first strokes are laid down. Color and texture are built up from the many layers of “missed moments”. A finished work, whether subjective or abstract, emerges as each mark and strand of acrylic is drawn across the canvas.
