Untitled #101 Painting

I am an artist living and working in Denver, Colorado. I never start a painting with an idea in mind. For me it evolves as I paint. One step leads to the next. One color suggests another color to follow. One shape calls for another one to overlap it. I look for shapes, colors, textures and spacing that compliment each other, that work well together to form a cohesive and balanced whole. It sometimes feels like a puzzle. When I am conscious in my work it flows and I feel good about a piece when I can lose myself in it. For me this process and action of putting marks on the canvas surface is just as important as the finished piece.
