Floating planes of color and the spaces in between.

Venice pier as it reaches into the sea

looking for weight and counter weight in the composition. A push and pull. Through color and negative space one can suggest depth.

I try to paint what is around me, paint what I see when i walk out the door. To give an interpretation and a bend to it. To pick out glances and relationships and define for myself the meaning of space

Exit 28 off the 10 freeway is in El Monte. pretty much the physical center of Southern California. I like the idea of spacial relationships as it pertains to the center. There is a masssive bus station that connects people with places.

Mas Attack 2 at Torrance Art Museum will have lots and lots of painters in one room!

another in the beach series. i fish the surf at bay street and i am captivated by the early morning light as it brightens into the day.

I am looking to integrate the vertical and horizontal element , the vertical representing the individual and the horizontal representing the landscape, to create a dialog and a language that is unique to me.
