Statement

My work is inspired by observations of nature, architecture and the environment. In this current series of drawings and paintings, I focus on geometric shapes, lines and the use of empty space. The relationships among these elements can be balanced or intentionally askew. I continue to use a minimal color palette, I like the harmony it provides while allowing me to experiment within a framework of limitations. 

Over many years, my continuous exploration of lines and angles has led to the development of house shapes, which I began to explore further in the summer of 2023. The process of drawing is integral to me. I often start with tiny sketches and doodles, seeing what ideas emerge on a page; these serve as my references. The contrast between the expressive nature of paint and minimal abstract shapes is what I’m working on.
