My work is foremost an exploration of emotion through color and shapes. I feel the only way
to get close to the thing (whatever that may be, I still don’t know) is to approach it obliquely.
Things seem strangely more concise in the periphery. The painting begins with an
emotional impetus and visual design, as the process unfolds the initial concepts quickly
change as the painting begins to assert its own ideas. The painting process then becomes a
conversation. My goal is to listen and do my best to be present and open to unexpected
outcomes. Take chances. My hope through this process is that I can finalize a work that
touches on some universal human truth the viewer can relate to their own experiences. A
forgotten memory, a dream, a lost place or time.
