Paintings and Collage
I painted for many years before my breakthrough landscape series, where I left conventional composition behind and abstracted the experience of a rocky landscape. I painted the colour and texture of stone as it might be seen through a magnifying glass. Certainly abstract, but hyper-realistic as well. No recognizable forms were visible, but the experience of really seeing rock was completely present.
After completing a series of these paintings, I began adding flourishes of paint to add points of interest and enhance the complexity of the compositions. Eventually, the flourishes became the dominant features, where large swipes and broad bands of colour created idealized landscapes.
To these Modernist works, I yielded to my Romantic inclinations and began inserting collaged items, figurative forms and other recognizable shapes, playing with the balance between romantic beauty and the modernist sublime. About this time, personal experience intervened and I began to incorporate spiritual elements in my work. This triple combination - Romanticism, Modernism and Spiritualism - is the basis of both my two and three-dimensional work. This complexity creates a depth of meaning, no matter the size or medium of my art.
