Color and subconscious expression. This work honors the value in the experience of creation. The narrative is process. When my daughter was six years old she boldly proclaimed, “There are no mistakes in art! I know because my Dad’s paintings are very messy.” The materials that I use for medium and support include recycled latex house paint, discarded metal plates, rubber mats, shingles, and styrofoam.

This was a series of paintings where there was no traditional support. I poured the paint onto a flat surface and then peeled off the paint when it dried. The resulting piece can be viewed from both the front and back side, the latter picking up the texture of the surface it was on. Some of these pieces consisted of mixing paint into water and then freezing the “painting”. Other paintings were made out of light.
