Artist's Statement

 

   Call me the next generation of Action Painters! My body of work is concentrating on representational abstraction and non-objective pieces. I pour, fling, and drip acrylic paint to create forms. The dripping and pouring of the paint allows for freedom of control over every aspect of my materials. I am searching for a connection with the  subconscious, the moment of epiphany where years of study, inspiration and physical environment culminate. Lines of paint become volumetric and do not seek to describe objects. Abstraction is, I feel, the purest form of art, because it comes solely from the spirit of the painter, not trying to mimic the world around us.

 

   Often I use the word "manifestation" in the titles, a word that suggests "revealing"- and that is how the work develops. First, the pouring, an immediate and largely chaotic process, then the resolution phase, where the pouring is manipulated to completion. I am an experimental painter, and find that abstract work is dangerous, compelling and frightening. It is also liberating, stimulating and glorious. There are no boundaries. And, as such, the viewer brings to each piece their own experience and background. This allows the relationship between the image and its audience to continue in an evolutionary process that changes over time.

 

   My work has been shown in West Texas through solo and group exhibitions for several years, drawing critical and artistic acclaim. I have served on the boards of the El Paso Art Association and the Pastel Society of El Paso. My support as a member in CASETA (Center for the Advancement and Study of Early Texas Art), EEPACO (Early El Paso Art Collectors Organization) and El Paso Museum of Art, Collectors Club are a way to celebrate and study those artists that have come before. I have a passionate hope for our community here in El Paso, one that embraces the future and forward - thinking art of the 21st. Century. Not mere storytelling or decoration, but something that reaches deeper and ultimately fulfills our vision of ourselves.
