Artists Statement
Abstract art would seem to have no purpose other than an arrangement of line, color and value, yet I am sure the arrangement speaks to our minds, our experience.
Abstract art is a reflection of the mind -- a mood, an idea, and emotion. Abstract art has opened up the reality of seeing ideas as designs in color, form and dimension.
Understanding a painting can turn into a form of guessing game, so difficult it is to say exactly what the artist meant. That is why I say that abstract art speaks to us through our own response. Indeed, the phrase "I don't know much about art, but I know what I like" is an excellent way to view any work of art, especially abstract.
It's a gut reaction, pure and simple.
