ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This work came out of a previous smaller painting that had been a favorite of mine. I thought of the original small work as a seed of inspiration and felt I needed to revisit it in a larger, more simplified format. Well, plans go awry as the paint dictates what it would rather do. In the end, the "simpler" version turned out to be an exercise in complexity times three panels. The outcome was a vibrant, lively work that somehow evokes celebration and even an Asian sensibility.

To imagine the puzzle and then solve it, is what painting in the abstract requires. It’s a maze, a jumble– where the rules, and most everything else, is unclear until bits & pieces come together to show the way. It requires being present, letting go of preconceived ideas & plans and allowing oneself to see, feel & respond to cues that lay themselves out before you. If your practice involves underpainting and multiple layers of paint as mine does, it can feel as though you’re working ‘backwards’; delaying, pushing back—constantly reevaluating what the materials reveal. At the heart of my work, is a life-long excitement for color. It’s light held captive, vibrations, an energy source with limitless possibilities. Its collaboration with surface and context make each new endeavor a riveting part of the puzzle. I’ve been told my work is joyful and I accept that as a high compliment. The joy in the process is why I show up everyday to work at these puzzles, and if that emotion comes across to the public, I’ve done my job.
