Abstract Landscapes
My observations of the landscape provide structure in my paintings, taking into consideration formal elements and the expressive characteristics of encaustic which can appear both fluid and solid. I suggest the physicality of the earth with abstract forms, lines and color creating a layered space. In this way, the landscape is deconstructed and presented untraditionally. My color palette is most often based on the greens, blues, siennas, and umbers of the earth. I feel a kinship to the cubist explorations of Cezanne.
