Hybridization

A mixture or blend of something special, maybe a landscape or something bubbly. It all depends how you look at the world I guess, what do you see?

Internal Landscapes

Texture and motion are important parts of any landscape. As I look at the world the texture jumps out at me and this is why I incorporate this element into my abstract landscapes.

Combining landscapes I see in my dreams, and in my life with the texture I find in everyday objects provide the inspiration for each piece. Some of these dreams are tranquil, some, down right frightening; they all etch a scene in my mind that inspires me. From a rusty nail, a distressed old sign, or a rotten piece of wood, I add depth to these landscape scenes from the textures I see in everyday objects.

I am engaged to layer on paint, bringing these textures out and into the scenes. Using brushes, rubber spatulas, fingers and sandpaper I work away at each piece until my vision is realized. Finally I finish them off with a wash or stain, adding age and depth.

Industrial elements combined with nature, rough edges and bumpy terrain merge with soft, sanded edges. These internal landscapes represent places deep inside my mind.
