Iris, (March 31, 2014 detail 1) - Limited Edition of 50 Print

Limited edition of 50. Signed and Numbered. These works draw on the legacy of Lyrical Abstraction, building on the idea of musicality in painterly strokes. The process is organic, utilizing spontaneity and intuition, which allow the paintings to develop a lyrical sensibility. I find the same type of pleasure through the act of looking, as I do when I listen to music that I love. What I'd like to do with these abstracts, is to give someone that sense of enjoyment, akin to listening to a song or musical composition, through seeing.” The paintings also depict a palpable sense of the time and labor devoted to their construction in that many of my paintings take their title from the date the work is complete. The majority of our days pass without notice, devoured the grind of work or movements of some other kind, however, each one carries a mark - distinct in how it can affect an individual’s perception, as well as, their future days to come. In 2007, I started naming a lot of my paintings after the day on which they where completed, to give a meditative nod or gesture to the anonymous day.
