Who I am

Thu Oct 1, 2009, 9:59 PM
  • Mood: Winter Downs
When one looks at my paintings, at first glance the bright colors and sporadic lines are definitely an eye catcher. However, my paintings are all quite personal and more than a quick gimmick of colors or design; each one is a moment from my life worked out into a visual form. What they represent may be something I experienced during the day or a specific emotion being felt. Each stroke, drip, splatter, line, and texture all has a purpose and intention. My work captures an unconventional form of beauty, in what I see as the beauty of truth. The layers, textures, scrapes, scratches and colors are all decided on the spot, relying on “in the moment” decisions rather than a predetermined plan. This is to keep the paintings real, often true emotions are covered in fear of response; I want to eliminate that very possibility of being overwhelmed by fear.
People may wonder what each painting is, or try to form a relationship with my paintings to something in their own life, though it is impossible for them to get the true meaning of the piece because I choose not to show or depict in terms that most viewers will understand, it is to personal. The viewer will only see as far as I allow them, and often the title will bring insight to the meaning of the piece, however the true meaning will always be mine. I know a piece is complete when I feel a deep spiritual connection with it. It is not so much what a piece says, but how it feels or more importantly how I feel. I am satisfied when my work has a strength calling the viewer to get close, to touch, and to wonder.
