PAINTING LIGHT

My work centers around the dissonance of finding abstraction within intense realism. Windows allow the opportunity to explore organic shapes caused by reflections while structure frames them. Intuitive marks and a romantic approach to color is contrasted by an obsession with balance, order, and rules, reflecting the ongoing competition between idealism and realism.
