Torn Paper Paintings

These works have an underpainting to map out color and dimension. I then get lost in an avalanche of papers, textures and colors. It soothes my spirit and I am lost in a world of layers. It is my intent to capture a moment in time with expression and feeling. I invite the viewer to get lost in both the parts and the whole.
