West Seattle Art Walk, October 2017 (at Canna West Seattle.)

I'm an abstract painter in Seattle. I work with acrylics and mixed media, primarily on wood panels which I often scrape or sand or scratch.

Many of my pieces combine precision with disorder, or order with randomness. I like to create precise lines or geometric shapes, then overlay them with something completely imprecise, or distort them within their tidy parameters. Sometimes I'll paint something crisp and well-defined, then violently sand it or scrape it until its original luster is gone and it looks and feels completely different.

I also like creating multiple points of focus in a piece, with two, three or many more separate things going on so the viewer can decide whether to consider each element individually or take in the whole as a sum of those parts (or do both, or neither.)

One more thing: With some of these paintings, sometimes I think I know from the start which is the top and which is the bottom . . . then I rotate the thing and discover that I like it even better with a different orientation. There's no right or wrong. If it speaks to you more vividly when it's sideways or upside down, that's okay with me!
