“Painting is – regardless of subject matter – an emotional and physical response to the world.”
Sonya Diimmler
My Hope is to Convey Joy and Energy to the Viewer
My process is an alla prima pouring out of paint and silenced emotions. Their escape onto canvas and into the world informs my style, my voice and provides solace.
Whether painting colorful land and skyscapes, dogs or abstracts, it is from line and gesture that I derive great satisfaction. For that reason I prefer to paint large and loose, with bold colors, and without regard for the details of realism.
