I am an abstract painter working in oils & cold wax. My paintings are created without the use of brushes. Instead, I paint with squeegees, brayers and by applying paint to papers which is then transferred onto the panel. With a mixture of oils and cold wax I use paint in an extensive layering process to create a history on the panel. Throughout this process I focus on the use of color, texture and line. These elements portray depth through subtle shifts in transparency and shape. The varied layers aid in expressing a particular emotional limbo and the passage of time. I often scrape back into the many layers of wax and paint to reveal intricate details of color and the history of creating the work. 
I exhibit my work frequently in California and Oregon. I sell original paintings on panel and limited edition prints on my website and through several galleries. Check out my exhibitions page on my website current and upcoming shows.
