End of 2016 Paintings

Here are a few paintings I've created during the past few months to end out 2016.

Recent artist statement...

I paint because it gives me a space to create without
expectations.
This is not to say that I don’t begin a painting with an idea of what I want it to look like, but instead
I let that be the guide for my starting point.
Inevitably, the image I finish is different than what I originally
imagined.
This keeps me going back again
and again.
Engaging with the placement of the paint and the pressure of my hand and the resulting images leads to a canvas and an image that is alive and responsive to my actions.
Painting itself is the event and the finished image is the documentation of that event

"Change"

"Aspiration"

"Seeking"

"Escape"

"Emerging"
