Rocketman Print

I’m hooked on vibrant color and bold, sweeping, powerful brush and palette knife strokes. I take a modern approach to impressionism, exploring representational subjects with a spontaneous abstract twist. I also favor the freedom of abstract expressionism and creating compositions with freewheeling brush strokes. The creativity in “blurring the lines” of reality is the signature of my work. My own style and intention is to bring a passion, drama, and energy to a painting so that it catches your eye from across the room! I think of painting as part painting and part sculpting. The textures in a painting can play as strong a role as the colors in the creative process. I also mix in techniques like pouring, dripping, splattering, layering, cracking, and scraping in many of my paintings. I use acrylic paint predominantly for its versatility. I am also exploring more oil works of late and mixing mediums. I studied commercial art in college before life changed direction and raising a family and making a living in the business world took center stage. In my “Awakening”, I circled back to my real passion, working as a full time artist. It has been a wondrous and wonderful journey!
