Light is the paintbrush that brings objects to life. I have
always been fascinated by the way light defines an object or a space. Our
brain reads the images that light defines for us and translates it into a
language read by our imaginations and our hearts. In my artwork, I use
light to bring an image to life on a flat surface. I start with a basic
reading of the colors for my shapes and composition. Once I am
satisfied with the basics, the real fun begins for me. I start to add the
shadows and the highlights. This is what brings a painting to life. Whether I am
working with watercolor or acrylic, I proceed in the same way, layering on wash
after wash to create the depth I see in my minds eye. I use light to give
almost three dimensional forms to the shapes I paint.
When painting non-objectively, I create a
world of shape, light, and color waiting to be explored. The captured light
defines spatial relationships in subtle ways. I want to be able to feel like I
could climb into my painting and follow the path of light from surface to
surface within the boundaries of the canvas or paper. What is close and what is
far away? Follow the light and you find your way into the heart of the world I
have created.
A painting should give you
pleasure every time you gaze upon it. And every time you give yourself over to
the journey, you should find something else to delight you
