Artist's Statement: I have recently begun to experiment with transfer techniques, handmade silkscreens, and resists on panels. All of this is to create light and form in space. Works are mostly oil on panel. Many works use horses as subject and other animals. Influences include ancient fresco wall paintings, Tang Dynasty horses, Sienese art, Medieval and Renaissance art and 20th-century painting.
similar to aquatint, in order to create atmospheric tones, and use stamps, combs and scrapers to remove paint. I try to be spontaneous while also maintaining the control of drawing and intricate patterns. Horses have been a subject of fascination for me for almost 15 years. |
