One Step Forward, Ten Steps Back Painting

I investigate the layering and interaction of color, shape, and line as they contribute to our interpretation of depth, movement and beauty. Often described as a colorist, my work is also about finding light. My chosen medium is acrylic and I am currently creating abstract imagery. Drawing from memories, moods and the paint combinations on my palette, I start with a loose composition, which I cover, layer, remove, repaint and cover again, transforming the piece through many stages. Working through this searching process, I create multi-layered vistas that are reminiscent of things familiar. I hold a BFA in graphic design and an MA in Sociology. My studio is located in the Canopy artist complex at 916 Springdale Road in Austin, TX. I have lived in Austin since 2007. I am committed to a life making and celebrating art.
