When I paint, I watch how color interacts and speaks with other colors as I lay them down on the canvas. The relationship that the colors have with each other fuels my paintings and is the emphasis of my composition. I look to Georgia O’Keeffe’s paintings and appreciate her soft lines and vivid elements. I often think of a painting and have the image and title in my mind for weeks before it is put to canvas. It reminds me of Van Gogh’s quote “I dream my painting and I paint my dream.” I have created many series over ten years and feel that it will be hard to limit my style and subject matter moving forward. Van Gogh is noted saying” Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.” My subject matter is broad, for I find beauty in many things. My paintings are bold, with texture being an element that I use without boundaries.
