ARTIST'S STATEMENT
I seek to intensify the emotional content of my images so they express the spontaneous emotional aspect more than the literal reality.  I look for layers of anticipated enhancements of color and tone. Then I use mixed media to apply those visual feelings of the moment with broad brushes of color and hues that are not common to the camera. Sometimes I simplify by adding or removing texture and detail to further emphasize the object’s emotional content.  In all this I am looking for the mystical elements of color and shape as they were originally experienced, or to awaken a visual and emotional experience that has been hidden or dormant.
