Hot Volcano Painting

Hot Volcano was a journey in creating parallel sections of implied texture and alternating color presenting a bold and lively composition. This painting measures 40x40x1.5 Inches and is unframed with the side painted white. It is finished with many isolation coats and several layers of professional removable satin/matte polymer varnish. Despite their names, my art is nonobjective. I am inspired by texture, happenstance and the patina of worn surfaces; natural and manmade. I see grace and nostalgia in their visual history. I think this sensitivity allows me to approach my work with an uninhibited perspective on aesthetics, using color and visual texture as the primary elements in my geometric compositions. Each painting takes me on its own journey in which I intuitively listen and respond, incorporating of a variety of techniques and countless layers of acrylic and mixed media, constantly accumulating and reducing the applied materials until each piece finds its own end.
