On my abstract work
Please don’t feel like you have to understand my paintings. I don’t always immediately understand them myself. For me, the meaning often comes after their execution. The painting may take hours, days, weeks, months or years to complete but it somehow always seems to convey a subconscious idea, message, dream or memory. When I have the opportunity to hear others’ interpretation of the piece, it is most often different than mine and different for each individual viewer. Whether the painting speaks to you because of its colors, its design or, what you see in it or, the meaning it brings to you personally - I have accomplished my goal. Thank you for looking!
