| Form,
rhythm, and contrast all work both together and against each
other to make my paintings work in a controlled dynamic manner.
I use highly saturated colors that sometimes clash to control
perceived spatial relationships. As colors move back and forth
against each other they beat in a musical fashion. Lines intertwine
between background and foreground drawing the viewer deeper
into the texture of the matrix.
My
painting is musical. My life as a musician is visual. My musical
compositions have distinct visual components, and as a painter
I hear music. The improvised line in music and painting are
inextricably linked.
I
am an optimist. I believe my creative source is inherently
positive. The intrinsic nature of my work exploits the joyous
possibilities of both the meditative process and extemporaneous
gesture. Creativity is health.
