The artistic process for my current paintings begins with drawing from print images and progresses with deliberate painting and meticulous attention to detail, edges, lines, and the mixing of colors.
The interplay of color, value, and texture creates a sense of space and movement throughout the image, while the coexistence of the drawn shapes and the negative space around and between them, occupied by patterns and textures in translucent layers, contributes to the visual balance.
The end result is a visual image which has unified the seemingly disconnected images into a cohesive whole; inviting the viewer to enter and respond to the constructed world.
