My work is pretty simple. It is about joy, color and life.
By focusing the eye through composition, heightening drama through contrast and intensifying emotion through color, I seek to capture the spiritual essence of the subject.
The pendulum swings back and forth. There are times when I focus on the minutest detail in order to capture the spirituality of the mundane. These paintings are highly realistic and almost obsessively compulsive in their clarity. Other times I use abstract expressionism to more fully focus on the emotional charge of transformation.
When I get it right, the painting speaks to the soul of the viewer. Their spirit connects to the essence of the captured moment. It nourishes the viewer by calming them or exciting them or just giving them what they need to let their minds relax and their feelings take over.
Hopefully, the picture makes them happy.
