I am often asked what technique I use: I am not trained in any single technique, my paintings are an amalgamation of my past experiments and curiosities. Over time there are modifications in both my materials and application, which is why I don’t classify my process to any specific method. I incorporate air brushing and spray painting. I borrow some methods of pour painting from the abstract expressionists such as Paul Jenkins. There is also a subtractive element to my work. I erase large areas of the composition with a solvent and melamine sponges. My interest gravitates to processes that demand both dexterity and fluidity. I work on several paintings at one time. This practice keeps my mind fluid and encourages me not to over think each mark. It makes the process less precious. I try not to accept a painting as “failed “ but instead consider each painting I am not presently happy with as an opportunity to take a greater risk without hesitations. #abstractpainting #contemporaryart #liveartfully #artcollection
