Color is powerful. It is a combination of conscious choice and necessity to define space. My years of working in stained glass immersed me in the options of how color can not only affect the outcome of physical space but also influence an emotional response. To me abstraction or expressionism is exploring an idea without the benefit of a planned conclusion. It is an improvisational experience defined by the courage of letting go and being in the moment. It is the instinct of experience and emotion happening in the present. Much of my work comes from that place of spontaneity
