When I was a child, it was our custom to play word games on family road trips. One game was “I see something beginning with the letter ___.” A typical exchange might involve the letter “C,” for cow, Chevrolet, or California license plate, the rest of us guessing what that person saw. One time it was my turn and I said, “I see something beginning with the letter “M.” Miles later, my sisters and parents were past frustration. Nobody could guess what I was seeing. I, the youngest, announced, “Midair!”
Despite obvious retaliation from that encounter, the unseen continues its attraction. Today it finds expression in abstract art for its capacity to delineate those un-nameable emotions and experiences. I explore color, form, texture and composition to give physical life to the abstract. Color is used as a primary element second only to compositional forces.
Road trips take many forms. My art offers several routes.
