Enjoying abstraction requires an attitude that doesn't come easily, an openness to qualities, an attention and sympathy to fine differences, and a capacity for joy in colors and shapes and surfaces. It requires that we be as fully alive as possible.

Meyer Shapiro, art critic

Artist Residency at the Gullkistan Center for Creativity in Laugarvatn, Iceland

The layers and colors in these abstract paintings were inspired by the atmospheric effects and varied landscapes of Iceland.
