MARVELS AND MYSTERIES COLLECTION A fascination with biology often percolates up through my work in imaginative ways. This group of intuitive abstract paintings is an exploration of invented natural events or processes, an investigation into the organic soup of life. Vibrant color and lush texture coalesce to engage the viewer to discover and enjoy the visual surprises revealed in the dense layers. These complex, lively surfaces were created through the layering of acrylic paints, collage, mark making, patterns, dripped paint and more.
