This body of work represents my creative journey over the years; a glimpse into a place somewhere between reality and fantasy.  My earlier work is a reflection of an emotional response to the world around me.  The formal elements were used to create complex designs based on geometric distortion.  The heightened acerbic color reflected a state of anxiety and chaos.

 

Over time, nature crept into the geometric patterning eventually infiltrating and becoming the focus of my work.  The omission of background and the circular motif reference the tondo, an architectural design element of the Renaissance.  The softened color palette combined with the circular movement exudes a calming aura offering the viewer an entrance to a meditative state.

 

Wonderlust, my most recent painting, represents an evolution; a quest to continue exploring the mystery of human nature in contemporary society.
