Biography
I started enlarging and bringing into my canvases certain shapes, colors,
and light sources from often overlooked words, thoughts and ideas. This
approach often presents uncomplicated paintings of surreal colors and
light. These colors and light blend into forms that result in expressing a
bond between my ideas and my paintings creating an excitement of
movement. As I integrate light into the canvases they seem to come to life
giving the feeling as to time and space which molds my thoughts, words
and color into the finished canvases. For example, the painting “Moods”
takes us through our feelings using different palette colors, starting with
Yellow/Orange being the sensation of everything happy and sunny;
however, Blue is easily slipped into as sadness/envy which brings waves of
Blue/Purple, allowing Black to slip into Red anger. Then a reverse
depression causes movement into Gray/Blue gradually subsiding slowly
back to Orange moving on to bright relaxation in the form of Yellow.
A junior college in Denver was the start of my art education, taking
numerous watercolor, oil, acrylic and drawing classes. Upon moving to
Chicago I enrolled in drawing, oil and acrylic classes at the Art Institute of
Chicago. I have shown in a juried show in Denver and with the Placitas
Artist Series for a number of years. My work is displayed in private
residences in Wyoming, Connecticut and Chicago as well as Placitas.
