Abstract Art

For years I have created work based on what I see, therefore I knew if it worked and was finished. I wanted to explore something different.

After painting ant the Art Students League in New York City and started exploring Abstract Art.

I am now painting what I do not see.

The base is symbolism, a story I told myself. I was told “If you want to be brave, roll it up, open a small section at a time, paint really close to the canvas only focussing on the lines and how they work together". I did this and continued this until I had reworked the whole canvas. Once I opened it all up I thought I would have to connect the sections as they were completed over different periods of time, I thought they would not work together without some blending, but this is the piece after the reveal. No blended needed.

Focusing on how lines connect together, and whether they work and feel right.

Playing with what “is right”, in the moment, not knowing what will happen.

A Monday night, a book, a sensation of resistance, this was born.
