LITTLE BIT OF LILAC Print

I approach a canvas with a desire to fuse color with dimension through a complex of textures -- free from intention, tradition, and norms. Layering devices burn a life force into even the smallest structures. Hues, light, dark, bold, pale, bond and speak their own language. Strokes, obscure, defined, personify sameness and difference and how the two natures work in concert. Applications invite stories, interpretations. My mission is to draw viewers deep into my world and ignite their imagination.
