I started with my group of orchid plants. Created still lifes and photographed them. Interpreted the image with gestural strokes. I felt that I wanted to display movement in the piece. By adding the silver metallic over the oil paint I created another dimension and abstracted the form.The painting changes in different forms of light because of the layers of metallic pigment and oil paint. The piece is painted on all sides and comes ready to hang.

I have two bodies of work. One as described below is abstract landscape, the other impressionist landscape, oil on canvas. They are both available on this site. My paintings have a sense of stillness and have been described as dreamlike. The art evolves and becomes more complex with every new experience. Abstract landscape description: My inspiration comes about from the process. Several paintings in different stages of completion are worked on at the same time. I begin by letting paint flow on the canvas as rivulets of color drip freely forming suggestions of images. With these marks I envision landscapes and proceed to bring out whatever the canvas suggests: perhaps a pond, grove of trees or mountains. Metallic pigments mixed with solvents are alternately layered with thin layers of oil paint, building up several layers per painting. This method gives the art a reflective glow. Texture and corrosive elements also result from this painting method and are intentional. This method of painting is a result of experimentation with oil paints, solvents and metallic pigments that began in 1999. It is a culmination of having worked with different media like pastel, watercolor and colored pencil over the last 30 years. Some of the paintings are also embellished with colored pencil and cold wax. Photo reference is sometimes used as a springboard for my images. At other times the imagery comes from my imagination. I spend a lot of time photographing the landscape when not in the studio. I was born in Croatia and emigrated to Chicago in the 1950's. Southern California has been my home since 1986. I started exhibiting in 1990 and currently maintain a studio in Orange county California. Website:
