Jam Session

Since the 1980s, my work has consisted of figurative abstract paintings consisting of lyrical plays on color, texture and pattern.  Through the use of abstraction and deconstruction I am able to explore the deeper foundations of my subjects.

The influence of music, or “liquid creativity” is an overarching theme of my work. I have a strong emotional attachment to jazz; the rhythm, harmony, and deconstruction have strong parallels to my visual work. I spend a lot of time in my work trying to visualize not only the musicians but also the music they are playing; color, texture, and pattern are often visual representations created to communicate mood, rhythm, and composition.

My intention is to communicate not only a visual tale but to also interpret the aural tale as well. In all of my work it is my intention and passion to communicate something unique and personal.
