Biographical Information: Several years ago, while mixing together pigments, I came across three separate blends of colors. They turned out to be very versatile when used with a painting technique that involved building layer upon layer of acrylic paint and acrylic medium. The previous image is partially covered, by successive layers of paint forming an image. The discovery of the three colors allowed a simplification of process, which enabled a more free state of mind for the evolution of the subject matter, or image of the painting, through experimentation. All of the paintings are acrylic on paper or ragboard. Framing, matting and inlayed word tags were done as a compliment and extension of the painted image. The words are not titles but simply a presentation of another language for expression of an idea. This current body of work is a personal exploration into fear and desire. I have been encouraged to make this work available for public view with the understanding that there will be certain people that can connect with the images. In turn, this may allow them personal processing and healing. (statement provided by Oregon Arts Commission)
