Artist Statement

In “Rhythm to Form,” I use thinned acrylic paint as stains to form a central atmospheric shape. These “Centers” or fields of pure color emerging from an undefined ground are than shaped by semi-opaque passages where the textures and dramatic gestures of the strokes contrast with the smooth effect of the stain. In relating these circular motifs to the rectangular format, I explore the spatial effect of colors, their placement and sequence, and let the painting breathe, transforming it into an imaginary space where the power of suggestion resides in the expressive capacity of color and form.​
