The provocative use of space has always been of interest to me whether it be found in architecture, graphics, landscape design or paintings. My recent body of work encompasses my observations of the landscape, especially the sculptural display I find in the winter months. Through these paintings, I've explored the spacial relationships between the positive and negative areas and have tried to create a feeling of depth by using many layers of transparent glazes. The resulting artworks are explorations of a 3 dimensional sense of space on a flat surface.
