"Abacus" Painting

"Color and geometric order/disorder are my constant concerns in the studio. Beginning each painting I seek to create a subtle but visually engaging ground which serves as a foil to the next layers of geometric shapes, all contained within or challenging the penciled grid. Balancing the shapes and colors of pieces fascinates me daily. Often I will place a strong color or shape anywhere on the piece, knowing that the challenge to engage it successfully is so satisfying. I finish my work with gloss medium varnish, as it provides a window into the work and also reflects the life and light in the space in which it hangs. I also work with beeswax encaustic and love how the pieces look when finished (and I really enjoy the enchanting odor of the melting wax)! I am represented by the Bruce Lurie Gallery in Los Angeles and Folly & Muse in London,UK and Munich, Germany. It is my sincere desire to convey to the observer my humble recognition of the Mystery that we live in and the Spiritual, G-d, which Creates, Infuses and Envelops all.
