Artist Statement
I employ a reductive form of abstraction which emphasizes the plasticity and two dimensionality of painting. Considerations of color, form and space drive the meaning of my work. It interests me how this universal language continues to be an exploration. My intent is to create an effective minimal structured image of unencumbered space.
