Exorcism through art...... I am a mixed media artist living in the Bay Area. For me, painting is
a release of inner demons, a transfer of negative energy. I make art
because I have to.
Intuition generally dictates my painting process, giving rise to an
unconscious projection of emotion to canvas. I don't limit myself in
terms of mediums or their application to surface. House paint,
watercolor, acrylic, gold leaf, spray paint, and blood are some of the
instruments in my destruction-function.
I prefer to work on weathered
decaying wood, but I will paint upon any surface available to me.
Frequently, there is no order or plan with my non-representational
work. I rely on motion, energy, and textural chaos to convey my
message. I believe without the threat of failure or destruction,
nothing can be gained from the journey. Instinct controls my hands.
Elegant bloodbath......
