Experimentation is the root of my processes, driving and forming my work, it requires an abandonment of doubt and a willingness to let go. Through this I have learned how to work without restrictions and to allow myself to make mistakes. This process has manifested itself as a necessary channel for my emotions. Through the abstraction of texture and color, a time and place is created that is without words, evoking emotion, critical to the outcome of the works.

The work featured in Revelry is all about the simple things in life I take pleasure in. A more or less selfish dive into what I find visually stimulating, while acting on instinct with regard to color choices, textures and lines. Finding inspiration through music, nature and astronomy I’ve pulled bits and pieces from my favorite things and reinterpreted them into a more unrecognizable, abstract composition. To revel is to delight in something, therefore it was important to have an underlying theme among the works of that which brings me happiness.

An essential aspect to my work is that of spontaneity and the role that plays through the process. It is in this time of being totally vulnerable to the process, the materials and ultimately, the viewer, that I come across new methods of achieving constantly evolving compositions and depth.
