I am a colorist. The pursuit for the understanding, control, and mastery of color has been a constant in my process throughout my artistic career. I am using the sky as a metaphor for my connection with God, I draw on the splendor of nature, clouds, and the cosmos as a conduit for expressing emotions of joy, divine grace, and hope. My hand is guided by my appreciation for God’s beauty and the reverence that he creates around us. In my current work, I am striving for an even deeper depth-of-space in my paintings. While still employing the layering and blending of colors, I am now focusing on heightened drama via fluidity of strokes, meticulous details, and rich contrasts. This depth-of-space exploration is driven by—and mirrors--my own current path of introspection. In composing works that draw myself and the viewer to the light inside the painting, I strive to encourage and invite self-reflection, contemplation, and possible discovery of grace and one’s own purpose.
