Hand Soul Coordination
My work is Expressionistic in nature. Emotions and inner experience drive the method I call Hand Soul Coordination.
Gestural mark-making, intense colors, graphic handling of subject matter, distorted forms, the investigation of illusory space, alternating perspective and figure/ground relationships are qualities of my paintings.
My process has evolved over time to where I truly value “accidents” and welcome the element of chance. I have learned to allow each painting to flow in its own direction through the application of materials where I let my instincts take over.
The subjects of my paintings draw from a purposeful confrontation with the Environmental crisis, the Governmental crisis, racism and white supremacy, pollution, and the anxiety of living in a modern world. My paintings are soul to hand reactions to these engagements.
I offer paintings that reflect my interpretation of the world as I absorb it, see it, hear it, smell it, taste it, feel it.
