I use the complexity of abstract forms and tangible elements as my response to the undeniable beauty of colour. I often apply layers of saturated warm and cool colours that interact with light and dark to create intervals of colour harmonics that subsume form. In this way the colours become interdependent and determine the structure of the painting rather than shape or pattern. As I work through the painting I add spontaneous gestures of both organic and geometric forms; expressions that embrace intuitive and image-centred ways of thinking.
