” My work is about exploring paint and perception. Layering instinctual organic mark making with deliberate line work creates a push/pull effect or back and forth between abstraction and representation, between painting and viewer. The visual vocabulary that I’ve developed over the last 25 years references flame and water, mountain and river, debris and structures both human and crystalline.
These paintings seek to add to the mystery, inviting the viewer to enter the painting and therefore themselves.”– Galen Frost Bernard
