These paintings evolved as I worked to reduce painting to two visual elements: color and light. Chromaticity is an objective specification of the quality of a color regardless of its luminance. Chromaticity consists of two independent factors: hue and color saturation, intensity, or purity. Luminance describes the amount of light that passes through, is emitted from, or is reflected from an area within a given field of view.

I created these color combinations using flashe paint so that the color will intensify (or fade), inviting the viewer into a deeper experience of color and light.

(Flashe paints are extra fine, vinyl-based, highly pigmented matte permanent colors. It offers optical characteristics similar to gouache or old tempera paints – the result is matte, velvety and opaque allowing it to absorb light and reflect it back as the color you see.)
