Lives and Works in New York City
Artists Statement: "Acrylic paint allows me to layer and build by gouging, scrapping, dripping, implying an almost sculpture like method to a two dimensional surface. Bold shapes rest themselves on almost stick like lines. Dripping allows a fluid like motion. I love the idea of provoking an interplay between line, shape, and color. A kind of chaotic disorder between tension and balance is created that somehow eventually settles itself, and all elements contribute and embrace the constraints of the canvas."
