Much of the grid is filled with different patterns, textures, and colors such as orange, blue, red, and white. These patterns range from leaf-like imprints to circular motifs and delicate, lace-like designs. The layering technique adds complexity and richness to the visual experience. One can observe scribbles and line work that contribute to the informal and dynamic character of the piece. The artwork conveys a sense of controlled chaos and invites viewers to explore the interplay of elements within the painterly space. The image shows an abstract painting with a dynamic composition of geometric and organic shapes. The artwork features a vibrant array of colors predominated by yellows and blues, with accents of red and other hues creating a visually stimulating contrast. Textural elements and lines suggest a layered effect with intricate patterns, reminiscent of different materials or surfaces intersecting one another. Some shapes are more defined, forming triangles and rectangles, while others blend and overlap in a complex network. The artwork exudes an energetic and expressive quality that invites the viewer to explore and interpret the varied forms and textures. Painting is oversized and when location is established, sales tax and shipping can be estimated.

As a mixed media non-representational abstract painter, I navigate my environment and daily interactions through an interplay of intuitive marks and gestures. My process involves layering, constructing, deconstructing, and reconstructing, resulting in a chaotic yet ultimately harmonious fusion of colors and textures. I defy traditional rules and embrace the beauty of clashing colors and evolving compositions.

Inspired by nature and my remote Island surroundings on Lake Superior, I find solace in the ever-changing light and landscapes that challenge me to constantly push the boundaries of my art. Trees and water are consistent elements that flow through my work, guiding me towards new discoveries and interpretations with every stroke.

I draw from a diverse array of mediums such as charcoal, graphite, gunpowder, sand, and more to infuse my artwork with a sense of depth and complexity that invites viewers to unravel its many layers. Each piece is a testament to my desire to bring beauty to the world and create something new and unique that resonates with others.

In my paintings, chaos gives way to order and clarity, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in a journey of discovery and interpretation. By merging photography with traditional painting techniques on paper, canvas, and wood panels, I strive to create a truly unique and captivating visual experience. My art is a reflection of the constant evolution of my surroundings, my emotions, and my creative process, inviting others to join me in exploring the endless possibilities of abstract expression.
