The scope of my work includes both painting and sculpture in the styles of abstract and realism. Creating an abstract work, naturally, offers me more freedom of expression and individuality. But i will do whichever i can as long as i am creating art (ie, i paint portraits of people, animals and houses,ect on commission). i enjoy both types of media because that is how i see and interpret the world around me; i feel that in creating art, one type enhances and strengthens the other. In my artwork, it has always been natural for me to use vibrant colors and i favor combinations of simple geometric shapes because they are the building blocks of our natural world and i am drawn to the clarity of their statements. With painting, I employ enamels, oils and acrylics.
"The Colorful Crowd" is an example of congruent forms which is 'the study of patterns' where i designed a two-dimensional shape that can be repeated to infinity by repeating itself from positive to negative. This design is also copy-written. My work experience includes commissioned work, restoration, art gallery, and custom picture framing.
