“I'm interested in the evocative power of inferred space and energy beyond the edges of the canvas. Glazes of translucent color and expressive drawing speak of nature and the transitory quality of changing light. Sky, water and motion are recurring themes of inspiration.
I begin by adding and subtracting pigment as an etcher wipes a plate, always working light to dark. The result is a composition of luminous layers of translucent color, with spontaneous drawing introduced throughout the process. I seek to balance the energy of drawing and the serenity of open space. My goal as an artist is to create powerful images that invite the viewer to move away from certainty and experience something new… even years after the first encounter.” — AR
