BUBBLES FLOATING ON RED

artist’s statement

I have been an architect for over thirty- five years.  Twelve years ago I began to paint in oil because the colors are so vibrant. I have always been creative and original, and found abstract painting combines both. Abstract art starts when you commit to an unknown, get lost and discover something new. It is all about being in the present, the Now, and finding joy in forms and color. Like life, it is all about the moment where I find a piece of myself. While I enjoy abstract art, I also enjoy painting the human body and face, or a place as I see it and feel it. Why limit myself, my art?
