I was classically trained in painting and printmaking in Boston.  I loved classical figure drawing and all things figurative.  Like many artists, that is where my inspiration and  art love-affair started, the human form.  Eventually, I became more and more interested in the simplicity of form. I began taking gesture, shape and line down to my most minimal understanding of it, stripping away the human form and any representation of reality altogether. 

 

My love of abstraction stems from a preoccupation with solving problems through a visual language.  How can meaning be expressed through the parallel visual language of drawing or painting?  I strive to create abstract pieces that capture meaning in a way that is beyond the power of words to express; to use a visual language whose vocabulary consists of lines, forms, spaces and structures.
