Category: Art With Impact
2026, Acrylic on canvas, 36x36x2 in. I start with an idea about color inspired by personal situations where the palette of everyday life is interrupted by intense saturation. Color is infinite, and so I intentionally broaden my palette as I choose my color response to what I observe. Joseph Albers, in his 1963 guide and teaching-aid Interaction of Color, Yale University Press, informs my process of building up endless layers of a singular element. I create these artworks solely with paintbrush in hand using concepts influenced by Albers, but also Bridget Riley, Theo Van Doesburg, the Pattern and Decoration movement, post-painterly abstraction, the French colorists and the artists involved in early 20th century modern art movements in Europe.
