All Shapes and Sizes Painting

"If I create from the heart, nearly everything works; if from the head, almost nothing." —Marc Chagall I paint responsively to music, mood, and movement. But I also paint with deliberateness and structure as my background as an engineer has trained me to do.  My creative process is neither controlled nor haphazard. It is a constant flux of responsiveness and structure, chaos and harmony. I paint with full expressive movements and carve back into the paint with various drawing tools. This creates little glimpses into intriguing worlds of paint underneath. The brush and drawn marks perform a descriptive as well as autographic role and so become a record of my thoughts, emotions, and spirit. When I am painting, I remind myself “…there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in…” -Leonard Cohen
