acrylic, 18 x 24 each

The focus of these paintings is hand-done form and color: both geometric abstraction and
graphic representational design, as well as modulation of color, clear movement, and the
human touch. I want to interpret, in a new way, the tradition of hand-painting. I'm influenced
by folk art as much as by modern art. Working in acrylic on canvas results in a punch of color
for me that I wouldn't be able to achieve in watercolor or oil. The matte simplicity is naïve,
and the plasticity is modern.
