""A work of art is above all an adventure of the mind." (Saul Bellow) Abstract art, in my mind, is the quintessential journey. (LE)"

Continuing the idea from the above Artist quote... being an abstract painter is actualizing, bringing to life something that never was. Abstract artists create their art not with renderings and interpretations of objects and realisms.. but with materials molded and formed and applied in completely non-objective ways to "birth" their created non-objective art.

... but that the art is created without the use of an "a priori". I've been an abstract painter and art maker for 30+ years. Trained in painting, illustration and art history, and a very small amount of printmaking. I started working abstractly in college and have been working and exhibiting ever since. The work I am doing presently is in the way of "reverse painting"... which is applying paint, in my case acrylic paint, on one side of a clear surface such as glass or plexi-glass and then turning it around for viewing side to be the unpainted side. It's like painting in reverse and inside-out. The true painting emerges and evolves in delicate layers. The layers, like our lives and our memories have happened, we see them, but they are all somewhat covered over with time, have collided with one another, felt one another, like the making of a painting.. The nature of the materials help me to create the most amazingly beautiful, atmospheric paintings and wall sculpture. My work is visually organic, extracting from nature her most abstracted of ideas... Mists, clouds, horizons, heat, cold.. environments.. but all done abstractedly, connecting to viewers from their own frames of references. I show nationally and hope to continue to do so. My work is always changing, the ideas are endless.. My materials are acrylic paint painted and applied in various ways to acrylic sheets, such as plexi-glass and mounted onto a hand-made, specifically made for the piece, cradle type of frame or sculptural frame.
