"Agnes Martin" is the sixth of this series of abstract, non-figurative drawings and was created in studio in Mountain View, CA. This work furthers the shift in the evolution of the drawings in this series toward tighter, more orderly compositions as I began a deeper study of consciousness and spirituality and sought to absorb and distill complex information in preparation for writing a book. This drawing was inspired by my travels to Taos, where I encountered enormous paintings by Agnes Martin, who sought to emphasize transcendent reality. With this and all of the drawings in this series, the first step was to move through line drawing (by hand) of shapes, forms and spaces - using pencil, scale and compass - allowing the composition to unfold intuitively but intervening at points with algorithms and formulae invented in the moment. When that stage feels complete, I begin the extensive and laborious phase of color testing and applying the color. Using PrismaColor pencils, I search for a certain feeling of rightness, "listening" to and feeling into various color combinations until I sense the right composition emerge. I love working with PrismaColor due to its velvety finish in full saturation and the possibility that the viewer might be able to see each stroke of my hand and connect with the intense energy that went into creating the work.

Through drawing, sculpture and architecture, I respond to the interactions of composition, space, color and consciousness. My desire to generate potential for elevated experience is the first organizing principle of each project, efforts which are guided by intentionally developed sensitivities and methodical internal processes. Seeking ways to enfold viewers in a real or imagined space that suggests the potential for an expansion of mind and spirit, I imbue my work with a sense of mystery and of a unity perceived but perhaps not fully grasped. I grew up between Independence,MO, where I was born and Pasadena, TX. I lived and was educated in Austin, TX and San Francisco, CA. I have been practicing architecture for the past decade in Rehoboth Beach, DE, achieving a certain level of success as a published and internationally awarded designer.
