I create architectural abstract paintings. My work often is defined by lines, a result of architecture’s influence. The lines create a framework in my paintings that inform all my other moves on the canvas. Layers and lines are painted using oil paints suspended in a wax medium. The wax medium allows me to work forwards and backwards, constantly removing and adding layers to the painting. I don’t use many orthogonal lines in my paintings or sculptures, preferring angle lines to create spatial perspectives. For me, these sometimes chaotic perspectives create a sense of disorder which allows the viewer to become an active participant in my work.
