I am an abstract expressionist artist from New Orleans, LA Abstract art is intriguing to me because of its look, its energy, and its openness to interpretation. To me, abstract expressionism is akin to getting a room filled with people from different countries to speak the same language. My paintings juxtapose soft colors with raw gestural markings as well as bold colors against a more gentle backdrop. With every layer, mark, and use of texture, they are a visual dance on canvas. The paintings are made of multiple layers of color and texture, each adding depth and character.I paint in a variety of mediums that incorporate beautiful mark making with the ultimate goal of having these things create a harmony on the canvas that is balanced, flows, and tells a story unique to each viewer.
