For over 20 years I’ve painted geometric shapes and patterns in vibrant colors and dreamy spectrums. Visual pleasure is what I’m after. They look precise from a distance, but get closer and you’ll see their looseness. Each mark reveals the rhythm and attention needed to craft the painting, and provides a sneak peak into the studio. Wobbly grids, sinuous blobs and transparent colors indicate little desire for perfection, but great care in organizing.
I also make collages. They’re spontaneous, with clashing patterns and ideas coming fast and plenty. I’m painting even more color sketches too. Playing with basic color theories to create dramatic spectrums. Both processes are laid back and playful. All my work is some sort of bright collage or mashup of ideas.
Various textiles and design movements fuel ideas for colors and patterns. The beat of NYC streets and fashion are important references too. My compositions are not fully planned, I prefer an open-ended approach. I’ll start with color concepts and patterns. Then make intuitive and reactive choices along the way.
I'm available for various creative services, just drop me a line.
