The inspiration for my abstract imagery comes from everywhere. Everything I see, study and experience becomes fodder for my artwork. When drawing I am receptive to what happens accidentally and subconsciously, and the images that I produce are solely from my imagination.
I obtain the visual effects by using a matte acrylic paint, sometimes I enhance the surface with pen and pastel on paper or canvas. When an artwork is finished I give it a title that refers to something about the painting and serves as a way to distinguish it from my other works.

EXPRESSIONS
These paintings begin with an idea from my sketchbook, but are primarily interactive, As I work on the canvas or paper I respond to what appears on the surface. Although the surface is flat, I think of it as a plastic space and apply the material much like a sculptor working in clay adding and subtracting visual elements.
