My roots as a classically trained painter has had a profuound influence on my current style. When paint and color are put to cnavas, it becomes a form of communication and the goal of communication is understanding. To me, a successful image is measured by its ability to communicate its makers message, if understood, then the image succeeds. The images I create are a study in texture, light and color. I use acrylic paint which gives me a freedom not possible in the oil medium. I build up my cnavas using a polymer paste mixed with marble dust. This gives them a three dimensional quality that invites the viewer to "feel" the image. .
