Each artwork embodies joy in communicating a visual experience with the viewer.

To capture my edited view of a timeless pleasure in a space thru choices in color and form which enhance the visual experience at a particular moment in time.

The representation of three dimensional space into two dimensional space must be filtered and edited with a bias in color and the feeling of depth. Perspectival one point and two point perspective as seen with the eye can be flattened with the digital camera as to become unrecognizable.

My work challenges the notion of how your perception changes what you experience as non empirical. The camera lies; you think you see a one to one image but in fact the distance and foreground never appear as we experience them. The color library relies on the iPhone which uses computational photography to produce stylized colors as opposed to a digital camera which employ a more accurate superior color library.  

Phenomenological method of understanding began to explore this disconnect with experience in space versus the representation of the space. So I am invested in questioning the relationship of painting, experience, representation, color, texture, and composition in my artwork. 

In the last 75 years,  abstract art is now divorced from the perspective of visual experience in a traditional sense. I am questioning that complete sever. I am exploring the subtle relationship between seeing and representation through a lense of visual editing.
