Art Initiation as youth with a continued lifelong dedication and practice.
Current Practice:
My expressionist art evolves through gestural lines onto the blank canvas. This practice is described as a 'Jungian' format aimed to bring the unconscious into a visible state (Spontaneous Form, essentially an evolving spontaneous conversation between self and canvas.
Process:
Three related yet distinct gestural wave-forms (feelings/perceptions) applied to a blank canvas. From these initial markings and remaining in the dreamlike state, content begins to be filled in as seen within space. Eventually a narrative predominates within suggested images that may or may not be fully recognized by either the artist or another viewer. The totality grows toward a communicative whole, the story of which the viewer must complete.
Format varies within Still Life and on site painting.
