ARTIST STATEMENT
Subtle changes in the colors of a sunset. The glowing crest of a wave just before it breaks. The slow, smoky vibrato of a jazz saxophone. Even the silence at the end of a great poem where new insights resonate. All of these share a pause, a moment of stillness in the movement between one place and another. They remind me of the rhythm of a conductor's baton. There is a particular space inside the upbeat and the downbeat, between one chord and another.
That's where I love to be when I create art: inside the space between. I am in motion, riding rhythms. With palette knife or brush in hand, I explore the layered meaning for me of a profound experience in nature or a state of mind. I play with color, line and shape until boundaries dissolve and open to other possibilities. I want to fold into a wavelength, and feel its frequency as it vibrates from one point in time and space to the next. I am moving along edges, inside the energy of connection. Please join me there...
