Artist Statement
Like a time-lapse photograph that shows every second of the images as they change, my art is a layered visual record of all the moments of its creation. Without a reference or pre-conceived idea as to what will appear on the canvas, I make a mark and follow it, paint with spontaneity, add and subtract layers. Fueled by intuition until it is complete, the work is confident and offers deep personal satisfaction. As a writer uses words, text, sentences the nonobjective painter uses the elements of art like color, texture, line and mark. These are my tools. Using only internal references – thoughts, emotions -- each piece is an adventure, a visual puzzle, mysterious and unpredictable.
A painting is not a picture of an experience; it IS an experience"
