Combinations of organic and geometric shapes are the
underlying structure of my Revealed Expressions paintings.Working intuitively, I create an active and vibrant under-painting by
layering the canvas with forms, lines and sometimes words created by
exaggerated handwriting movements.Subsequently quieting the canvas, I cover it with a veil of paint,
sometimes over the entire painting.I
then selectively lift areas of the veil, revealing a portion of the painting's
history.Discovered are hints, glimpses,
and intersections of the elements and colors from the underlying forms.I find joy in this "lost and found" painting
process because it never ceases to surprise as I explore each painting's organic
visual history.
