This series of paintings demonstrates my exploration of color, tone, and shape relationships. While I consider myself an observational painter, I delve into abstraction in each painting- inventing passages, flattening forms, playing with color notes. The formal elements of abstraction are deeply engaging to me.

My interest in the formal and pictorial aspects of painting is in addition to my interest in the sensuality of the oil medium, nuanced edges, and subtleties of light. Each painting is carefully considered and composed- some taking months to produce, with the intention that the resulting surfaces reveal a visual history of changes made over time.  

I explore three main motifs: the landscape, cityscape, and floral compositions. By working with these different subjects I can move between paintings with similar pictorial ideas with the same perceptual focus regardless of subject. For me, moving between subjects is visually exciting- the underlying principles seem to always connect.
