Painting is a material means by which ideas and emotion are given visual form.
- Hans Hofmann
I‘ve been part of a historic tradition of innovation in painting, exploring those material means – engaged, as many abstract painters have been, in the art-making exploration of different materials and techniques, innovating for the betterment of their art. In more than 50 years of picture making, I have used pieces of physical color and colored materials in all kinds of ways – from Plexiglas, metal & wood, acrylic paint sheets, plastics, spray guns, industrial enamels, to vinyl sheeting -– all to make art with a permanent aliveness of feeling and emotion.
