Shown are several works from the flow series, all of acrylic with pouring medium and all on cradled board.

Extensive use of pouring medium separates out the pigment particles and creates luminosity and a resinous sheen - and interference paint and metallics create art that changes with light and the viewer's movement.

I do two types of pour paintings. I started with motion-based abstractions of Liquitex Pouring Medium mixed with paint onto cradled board, and gradually began doing underwater scenes. These often become more and more layered, but always have the luminous bounce of light as if off of flowing metal and gems that underscore my message: Our oceans are more precious than gold or pearls.

The types of work feed off of each other. I’m drawn to create the more literal ocean scenes, which down the line leads me back to pure abstraction. They are my Yin and Yang.
