The hills turn green during the winter months. This winter's abundant rains made the East Bay hills very verdant. I am inspired by their repeating forms and paint them as way of representing the outdoors. I am making abstract paintings that reference this local landscape in simplified ways to arrive at their essence. The paintings serve as windows to these abstract landscapes. The landscapes are framed by grids of colorful gradients that are mirrored in their composition. The gradients fill squares in the grid and their symmetrical layout creates a sense of balance and a meditative space.
