My abstract acrylic paintings are designed to show the interaction of color by using shaded waves of lines over a construction of half circles and straight lines to combine the organic and geometric.

Artist Statement:

My abstract acrylic paintings are designed to show the interaction of color by using shaded waves of lines over a construction of organic flowing forms. I start with a central focus of circles and arcs.
Then superimposed are interacting and contrasting waves of color lines. I want to express the energy and forces in us and in the universe.
