Uncluttered compositions, bold color and balanced structure are core values in my abstract work. In Double_Space I bring two bodies of work together: mixed media prints and carved, painted wall objects. They both originate from printmaking and celebrate the uplifting nature that color can bring to our lives.  My non-objective work explores the power of color to unite, enhance and define space.  A limited palette and geometric shapes derived from architectural forms reflect my minimalist and graphic principles, which embrace my gravitation towards order. These aesthetics provide a sense of harmony to counteract and reduce the uncertainty and noise in our world today.

My works on paper and wood offer the observer a chance to pause and a space to contemplate. This process manifests with one hue, which then leads to a dance between color relationships and variations in shape, line and composition.  Without a preconceived outcome, I work till the print or painting reveals itself.  When this is achieved, I know my art has taken me to a truthful place that speaks to me.
