Raw, wet canvas drawn taut on wooden stretchers receives willingly the onset of poured color. Released on each canvas is a lifetime of imprisoned hope, fear, anger, love, and joy. So seen by the naked eye are the unrecognized conventions of form layered with thick impasto or alternating to a veil of washes. Thru the use of color and form, that which is called “The inner need,” the soul or the spirit is revealed thru unspoken language. The viewer then translates with-out preconceived appellation or recognized images pure expression. It is this pure expression portrayed visually on canvas which discloses the relentless need and desire to release the “inner need”.
