Artist Statement

My newest collections, entitled Zoom and A Journey Through Infinity, reflect my artistic exploration of the infinite cosmic history. I am known for pushing my palette of vibrant, and often translucent, colors to the limit, drawing out the vivid hues of nature. My paintings draw upon the earth's energy in a dangerous and imaginative drama.

The paintings launch the viewer from under the earth's surface into the solar system and beyond. I explore my own consciousness to create a kind of landscape of energy and emotions. One color plays on the last, changing and twisting to form the contrasts of light and dark. Bright colors burst forth against the dark background, sending the viewer into a dazzling world of exploding stars, swirling gas planets, and our own earth. My collection A Journey to Infinity is oil on canvas. My collection Zoom is mixed media on canvas and paper.

I am located in Pacific Palisades, California, and work in oil, collage and other forms of mixed media.

Artist Statement

Crystal Auras features an amalgam of terrestrial and otherworldly qualities. These mixed media paintings are created with countless layers of potent earth-tones that permeate the sculpted surfaces. A primordial energy exudes from within the core of each painting, causing the work to feel as if it has been spawned from a prehistoric cave wall, a stratum of a familiar or distant terrain, or the glistening interior of a geode. Do to my experience working with gemstones, I am adept at the manipulation of light. This allows me to best enhance the natural energy inherent in the chosen pigment which is invigorated intricate geography of the surface.

My recent Ricordi d' Italia series continues my exploration of color, light, and surface. Inspired by travels to Italy's Amalfi Coast, these paintings still have the ethereal quality of Crystal Auras but also include a more formalized abstraction and defined composition. The layering of surfaces and color reveal a geometry with a distinctive Modernist flair. Elements of the past and present architecture of Southern Italy's coastal villages and ruins emerge from this abstracted imagery, producing a mood that does not reside in a specific time or place. Other works utilize a more electric and pulsating palette reminiscent of the potent energy of vibrant coastal vistas. The work exudes the unique variances of Italy's terrain and achieves an otherworldly quality through a reductive process in which the tangible is deconstructed into its essential elements.
