| My Possibility is to have peace Joy, abundance and full self expression thriving in the world |
I have always been drawn to the sheer joy and sensuousness of color, how the intense presence of color can arouse any number of moods, stir sensations, instigate memories and stimulate consciousness. My explorations of still life for the past five years could be called “a search for the secret life of things”. Objects are carefully selected for their color, shape and association and are set in multiple light sources to heighten and modify the intensity of the image and emphasize the lyric influence of color. I observe and speculate on what the auras of different living things are and how to create a luminous “shimmer” in the viewer’s eye. My aim is to construct vibrant compositions of color that rekindle in the viewer a sense of joy peace and harmony in life. |
| Just recently I made a breakthrough using the computer as a tool to alter images of my paintings thereby creating completely new works, some of these images can be seen on the Gallery 3 Altered States and some new more classical Photos (as to process) but non the less unique as to content are in gallery7 on this website. I Have also been working on a series of abstract works two of which can be seen at the LA Arts gallery Gallery 5 in Lewiston ME. Here is a Link to their website. www.laarts.org/visual/gallery-5.htm |
