"My process is an essential component in my work amalgamating between methodical and visceral techniques. I utilize the liquefied and unpredictable nature of paint by often increasing its viscosity through mixing with various mediums, which may manipulate how a piece turns out. The simultaneous action between revealing and veiling of the paint and incorporating mixed media such as acrylics, oils, inks, pencils, china markers, aluminum tape, sand and twine allows to achieve the desired depth I look for. Every tool I use such as palette knives, brushes, sponges and squeegees all produce different textures and marks I am both familiar and unfamiliar with. Each painting consists of numerous layers often taking up to several months to complete.
The presence of organic forms are pulled from the terrestrial environment and developed with harmonious fluidity throughout the piece. Colors such as saturated red to aqueous blues holds a key importance in my work because of its emotional signifier it represents; anger, passion to tranquility and serenity. With the complexity of paint application, layering techniques, composition and color palette, the imagery offers the viewer a tangible document of my idiosyncratic visual language."
