I love DESIGN without great DESIGN nothing works visually. I see design in nature, in everyday objects, in the form of a person, in clothing. I am drawn to both American and Mexican folk art because the images have clean lines but are dramatic in their expression. They get right to the point without any fussiness.

I have and still do create traditional painterly images. I have a background in digital arts. Vector digital images are uncluttered and hard edged. So how can I combine my love of traditional painting with these types of digital images? It took me a while to solve this mystery but now I have. My current paintings take traditional painterly images and techniques emphasized by bold black hard edged images. Does it work, I think, yes. I think these new explorative pieces express my vision and feelings. A combination of SOFT AND BOLD. ABSTRACT and REALISTIC.

I still paint abstractions, they are their own reality. How to make sense or meaning of abstract images which are created using only texture, color and design into a meaningful statement. A statement which makes sense to the artist but does it makes sense to the viewer? That is the question.
