Currently, my work is falling into two categories: landscape and text.

The landscape pieces take on many forms as far as the imagery is concerned – lines, abstract floral fields, physical structures – most of which are placed in relationship to a strong horizontal perspective. Graphite and some elements of color are placed sporadically within perfect geometric form.

The text pieces are an ongoing investigation for me. These are abstract visualizations of language, communication, conversation – like white snow on the T.V. Language can be informative and destructive in the same breath. How this plays out in our everyday lives, situations and discussion is the basis for these pieces.

Both bodies of work are realized in a visually minimal manner. I strive to have the pieces broken down to their bare minimum. I hope this allows the viewer to enter the work more readily, allowing for his or her own thoughts and life experience to be drawn into the work.
As new directions continue to emerge in my work, communication will remain an underlying theme, investigation or point to be made.
