media release: Artist Statement: As an abstract artist, I examine the interaction of lines, shapes and colors. I strive to create bright, bold compositions that inspire hope and encourage perseverance. My paintings usually begin spontaneously, with a general idea or color combination.
I then add and subtract the different elements until they evolve into a more definite cohesion. Kandinsky and Pollock strongly influence me, as does Chuck Hipsher, with his use of broad strokes and splatters of vibrant colors.
