The body of my work focuses on landscape, both the long and short view. Portraits, both human and animal, that are softly formal are of particular interest for me. In my abstract work I look for the calligraphic and geometric qualities in the commonplace. Most of my work is an interplay of open space and richly textured detail which is derived from my study of Taoist painting. Finally, my flowers and nature studies are yet another attempt for me to come close to the natural world and study the sensual surface textures of living forms. |
