In this period of my career I was drawn to explore perhaps the most basic color palette of them all: Black & White. What I wasn’t expecting was a love affair to develop with these colors. This series has taught me that grey is subtle. Grey is powerful. Grey is limitless. It is a continuum to see how far one can push and pull the extremes of light and dark. There’s something to be said about the false simplicity of white and black and everything in between. Grey does not just become the backdrop to a painting – the subject must interact with it, Grey becomes the atmosphere.
