Warm Print

Currently based in beautiful New York State I am an artist, color consultant, graphic designer, amateur photographer…or in other words, a creative. The medium is ALMOST irrelevant. The subject matter is the driving force. In my case it is color. Color has played a prominent role in my career and has been a professional focus for quite a few years. By fortuitous circumstances I recently stumbled into what has become my passion, painting large scale meditative color studies. While each of my color field paintings are visually minimalistic and created with the impetus to explore the interaction and optical effects of color, they are also an investigation of something deeper. There is an energy, or tension, created from applying uninhibited color that is contained within defined and uniform boxes. This is also an apt analogy as each of us is a vibrant being shining within our own predetermined and often inescapable boundaries. When my paintings are displayed as a collection all follow the same format and align. Yet each piece is unique and contributes its individual beauty to the whole. Upon closer inspection the scale starts to envelop a viewer. Details emerge that went unnoticed at a distance. You begin to see layered colors, brush strokes, texture and color interactions that change with your perspective. Colors, like humans, appear to adjust themselves to whomever they’re with and however they are viewed.
