"Simplicity" and the use of negative space are central in Asian art. I enjoy the challenge of creating controlled accidents within this rigid set of aesthetic rules.
This collection is devoted to jars, vases, and persimmons. I find myself drawn to these common symbols. I attempt to evoke a connection to something ancient and spiritual.
Although the most imitated, impressionistic styles are still fresh. Some of my impressionistic pieces have no object, just colors that remind one of nature.
My more recent paintings are arranged in no particular order and follow no single style.
I find more surprises by not planning a painting ahead of time I usually know if I am likely to wind up with an abstract painting vs. a portrait, but not alway.
