Aperture in Sunshine Yellow IV Painting

The Apertures series—my largest body of work—aims to capture single, yet multi-faceted moments as they unfold. With these paintings I attempt to define space and express infinity simultaneously. My entire body, arm, hand and brush flow in a continuous motion to produce a direct mark. My intention is to suggest intimate but forward movement, a limitless movement in time and space.I seek to express tension in harmony, movement in stillness. I am looking for what is unrevealed. My creative process is about exploring color, shape and texture for its distinct resonance to an emotion. My focus is to play with the contradistinctive values of the media I use — acrylic, watercolor, ink. I seek to express tension rather than harmony, movement rather than stillness. “For me, balancing light and dark is the pure essence of imagery”. I live in Ghent, NY.
