I continue my exploration of radiant and interactive surfaces with innovative technique of creating compositions, then physically layering luminescent colors and materials that move and change as you move around them. Inspired by the Light and Space movement of Southern California, fed by the light filled environments and open spaces on the coast where I live , encountering the continuous reflections in urban environments of glass and metal, driving on freeways, or half-blinded by the intense sun reflected on the mirror-like surface of the great Pacific, off the coast highway, I personally experience everything I am exploring. Polyhedron series explores spacial relationships and how forms and volumes relate. I was drawn to Picasso’s Analytical Cubism early works and studied them in my teens- later Frank Stella’s Protractor Series and early abstract compositions intrigued me as to how shapes or volumes interconnected - these compositions derived from Cubism, giving priority to light and color in my own work. Like many of these artists, I reject the Abstract Expressionist practices of using accident, favoring instead the controlled formal geometry of Minimalism, using materiality. As the viewer moves or surrounding light conditions alter, these works seem to shift subtly, creating a complex spatial and temporal dynamic. They reveal a different shape and surprise you, drawing energies from all sides and angles- I consider this piece a most unique light and space experience.

I was always drawing and painting in my youth. My first career was as an interior designer and colorist for Silicon Valley giants and later Themed Entertainment Designer of award winning attractions for major Hollywood studios. I love storytelling! My early interest in drawing and painting was stronger than ever while leading theme park concept design projects at Universal Studios in Hollywood. During the late '90's, I followed the urge to develop my own personal artistic voice and began to create my works. My focus slowly changed from themed entertainment to fine art and my second career was born. To this date, I have exhibited nationally and internationally. This includes participation in many art fairs including Saatchi Art, The Other Art Fair, LA Art Show, Art Miami, group exhibitions in London, New York, Beijing and Tokyo. My work is represented at Gallery 825, Los Angeles Art Association, and at the collections of The Wonder Museum, Chicago; Grand Valley State University, Michigan; BG Gallery, Santa Monica; City of Toronto, City of Malibu, Tokyo National Museum, as well as many public and private collections internationally. My interest in laws of symmetry and spatial projection have allowed me to explore the relationship between materiality, illusionistic and literal space. My work is a personal expression of my lifelong fascination with visual and emotional effects of color, light and shadow, negative space, and the changing alignment of form as one's viewpoint changes. Inspired by nature and personal experience, my recent sculptures and installations explore the concepts of color, space, movement and transition. Through a meticulous and careful process I strive to create unique works of art of great visual impact, processing the potential of seemingly infinite complexity and exquisite beauty. I innovate with methods, mediums and machines, to develop my ideas, in the physical creation of a drawing, painting, a dimensional sculpture, or an entire immersive environment. As a dreamer and storyteller I have worked on award winning theme parks creating an experiential narrative based on films or stories - my art continues this tradition as it excites and gives energy to a place where you can dream and transcend into a meditative place to heal and connect in a higher spiritual domain - a place where you can question, drift and wander...
