Send Me On My Way Painting

I am a painter, I am not a mathematician, yet my intuition and aesthetic sense have led me to explore patterns and shapes that have an underlying mathematical logic. The basic ideas in my art are rooted in my amazement and wonder at the laws of nature that operate in the world around us. Much of my work is based on mathematical principles as a source for form, both artistically and conceptually. Geometric shapes and symmetry are the frameworks used to explore color and the ambiguities of visual and spatial perception. Through the use of recurring simple geometric figures, the illusion of movement, and the interaction of color relationships, the patterns produced in my work explore the principles of repetition, symmetry, movement, and visual perception. The works reflect a recurrent theme in philosophy, theology, art, and mathematics, which is the ongoing struggle to grasp the ideal and the transcendental and to encompass the infinite.
