Revised artists statement

I began painting by learning the skills and techniques associated with traditional style landscape. I have used these skills to create more abstract pieces highlighting objects that hold a powerful presence as sculptural and painterly entities.
My latest works have emerged from an examination of the properties of painting and paint as a tactile material. I've created two-dimensional and 3-dimensional works that explore form through texture, line and color. I'm fascinated with the relationship that could exist between painting and sculpture together. In turn, I've used line and saturated colors to investigate the spacial quality of a material originally used for 2-dimensional work.
