Making Lift Up Your Eyes...
Lift Up Your Eyes: A View of North Peak, began with free-sweeping brush strokes of color. These blocks of color paved the way for the patterns you see in the final piece!
My artwork is inspired heavily by the shapes and patterns I see in nature. In a way, each artwork is like a puzzle. I break down different elements of a whole and put the shapes back together to create a composition. I bring patterns and colors side-by-side with one another; comparing, sensing, imagining. My goal is to create something that is not quite spelled out to the viewer; something that holds a particular aura but is still unique to each person; something that brings the viewer to a place where they seek familiarity within the pattern or the attitudes of the colors. Each journal entry is a small window into my process and the stories behind my work.
