Artwork Description

I am interested in the possibilities that layers of lines produce. I have been focussed on line for the last twenty years. The process involves both random and deliberate addition of lines. I am fascinated by where the artwork leads me to as I do not have an outcome planned at the outset. Gibber has fewer layers of lines and therefore shows more of the background than much of my output giving it an open look. Gibber is in earth tones and as a result suggests landscape. The title Gibber comes from a naming convention of random geological features.

Artist Bio

I am a visual artist with a hidden disability. I mainly paint in oil on canvas. My works celebrate the process of painting, embracing changes, accidents, and discoveries made along the way. For as long as I can remember I have been interested in lines in artwork. This interest has distilled to a point where I am painting only in lines. Lines come in many forms‚ the brush stoke‚ the mark‚ calligraphy. I love the way the patterns of lines build up‚ they merge from fields into traces of energy. I am interested in the harmonies and the joining of form and the different scales at which the lines form pattern.
