An Artist’s Statement

 I often quip that color is my middle name. Much of this explains my love affair with it. I hadn’t planned to burst into color, but it just happened when I resumed painting in 2007. As hues emerged from my palette, so did texture. My canvasses almost define a third dimension as I develop my style. I owe much of my obsession with color to the teachings of Josef Albers as he explored variations on “Homage To The Square”. I feel invigorated when the same color looks different on various backgrounds as it reacts to each color field. I have no boundaries. I experiment with every combination of blues, reds, green, purples, etc. and delight in seeing them in action as they create light, depth and space beyond belief!  I really cannot see myself abandoning my newly found friend. Color, I believe, will always be my middle name.
