Visual Art – Salt Lake City

My art has always evolved from my imagination. My interpretation of what I see and the emotions I experience inspire my work. My story behind each piece is not as important as how the piece effects the viewer and what their story is. I work with blends of bold and subtle colors in acrylics applied with brushes and palette knifes on panel. The interpretive work of my abstracts are further enhanced when incorporated with texture and layers of paint. Often I will use old cloth, paper, mud, corn husks, and various other materials to achieve the texture I seek for each piece. My figurative pieces are simple with bold lines, strong colors, and unconventional perspective. My belief is that art should be touched, allowing the tactile senses to explore deeper than the eyes can see.
