About this artwork
In 2019, a powerful tornado ripped through my Dallas neighborhood destroying everything in its path. Homes were literally reduced to splitters. Walking the neighborhood the next day was a deeply profound experience which sent me on a journey focused on the resiliency of the human spirit told through a series of metal wall sculptures the first of which were constructed from neighborhood debris.
This experience has now morphed into a series of paintings.… “The Unknowable World” celebrates this resilience and rebirth specifically through the examination of the raucous world of flowers which seem to me to be the perfect metaphor for the resiliency of life.

I am interested in exploring the components of the visual experience. Why and how certain visual combinations affect us in deeply profound ways is the focus of my work. My current work has been most influenced by the work of the Abstract Expressionist painters of the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s, specifically the “monumental”, large scale paintings of this genre.
In all my work, a sense of the physical is very important. Brush in paint, paint on canvas. While I have created representational works in the past, today I am focused on the challenge of reconstructing a tactile emotionally charged experience, full of energy and joy, that captures the “feeling” of a specific visual experience without using any representational symbols or words.
