Artist
Statement
My goal is to engage the viewer on three
levels: artistically, emotionally, and intellectually.
These collections, specifically, ask that the viewer "suspend
reality." This both awakens the
imagination and asks a question: how was this moment in time
captured?
Technically,
it seems as if the subject were lit from
behind the
canvas. This
is a demonstration of a technique borrowed from the Old
Masters . . .
the use of many thin dilutions of
oil paint to create a “lit from within” quality.
It matters not whether
the subject is light or
dark; these
layers create their own prism, gently breaking light beams
into rainbows of color.
