Efflorescence
This series started while experimenting with using mostly white oil paint.
I work to use line, shape and color to evoke mood, to invite the viewer to swim into the
canvas. The curving shapes are meant to conjure sensations and the minimal use of color to
establish atmosphere. As most of the pieces are very pale, I feel that they don't always
translate well digitally. In more recent pieces I have been trying to maintain an atmosphere
that floats while adding more color.
