CIRCLES IN LIFE

I consider myself an abstract painter. Everything I do in my paintings is intentional. Composition and mark making work in tandem with color to create the desired painting. Everything has a meaning and related emotion.
You’ll see that the circle is a recurring design element in my paintings; circles that are very large, curvilinear lines or small little dots. The circle embodies all of the attributes that I wish to evoke in my paintings: calmness, fluidity, and movement.
The circle is ubiquitous in nature, from the human face to eddies in a stream to our solar system. Some researchers feel that the circle is deeply ingrained in our psyche from birth.
The circle is a universal symbol with many meanings; wholeness, rebirth, timelessness, and eternity. See how many circles you see in a day!
