Inner Heart Painting

A Northern Virginia based career abstract expressionist, recognized for non-figurative, nonobjective and nonrepresentational paintings and drawings. The meaning in his work is expressed as an emotional experience. It also stems from a lifetime pursuit in philosophy and music. As a modernist, he is in search of new modes of visually connected spiritual expression. "Abstraction has corollary vibrations with music and pure spirituality." He also visualizes full-color, detailed works during dreams. Working in a meditation, a spontaneous interplay of complex, descriptive imagery through a flow of strokes, one leading to another. "When a painting starts to reveal complexity, there is an subconscious emphasis on asymmetrical balance." His work has been described as process oriented, non-objective, and painterly as opposed to a more conceptual or analytical abstraction. Paintings have both an organic and architectural feel.
