ARTIST STATEMENT

The paintings are informed by my passion for dance music.

The beats and rhythms inspire and drive the formation of shapes and suggest fluidity as the work progresses. Some genres of dance music create color blocks of strong vibrant shapes and linear configurations that imply dance movement. Other rhythms increase the layering of paint. The music drives the textural application of the palette knife or brush in a visceral plane.
There are many influences that I draw from, and each piece develops a “choreography” of its own.
