I am a contemporary artist who paints both landscapes and abstract works. Landscapes were my first love, but as I learned more about composition, values, shapes, and lines, I was intrigued by how integral those building blocks were to abstract artwork. And now I'm obsessed with working abstractly. As a result, my landscapes have become looser and less representational.

My paintings are full of layers. As a result, they might contrast and partially obscure what is underneath. I'm intrigued by hidden things, the sense of history that comes from discovering what lies below. I paint intuitively at first and then look for an emerging composition that I can build on with more layers of paint. It's a bit like being an archeologist but in reverse.
