changing the mood of the painting as the light moves across it’s surface. With every painting, my intention is to explore technical as well as creative goals. I often find myself needing to create a new tool or process to accomplish the effect I wish to create. I find not being bound by traditional methods gives me the freedom to be as inventive and innovative as my creative inspiration allows. Someone looking at a painting, and being deeply affected by it, completes the circle. I create the art and hope that it touches an individual on a deeply personal and elemental level. Every time that happens, I have succeeded in my goal. The final communication of the paintings intent is completed in the viewers mind. The painting is the end result of a journey. I hope you enjoy traveling with me.
