I would like to welcome you to my online gallery of contemporary abstract paintings.   As you explore this site, you will not only learn a little about me and my approach as an artist, but you will be able to view a great variety of work that I have created over the course of several years which includes oil.  What you won't be able to see, is just how I work, or my actual process.  Here is a bit of insight into my approach:

When I create a new work, I begin spontaneously, and progress intuitively, becoming more detailed as a composition takes form.  I like to explore balance.   My art explores the balance between many ideas:  tension and harmony, spontaneity and control, empty space and active space, depth and surface.  I believe that complex emotions can often speak through simple forms - I hope that my work excites the emotions of each viewer.   I am open to change.  Every new, personal, life change has added new dimensions of expression to the way I create.  With each work, I enjoy a kind of conversation.   A particular work is complete when it no longer demands anything from me... but the conversation doesn't stop there... enjoy!
