The process of creating an object that has never existed before, seeing it as it unfolds and as a finished product is both exciting and meditative for me.  This duality that I experience in my engagement with the work interests me in other areas as well.  Order and chaos vie for dominance; beauty gives way to decay only to emerge once again, deliberation retreats as intuition takes over.


This ebb and flow to the work is anchored by my use of a simple but strong compositional layout to begin each painting. I like my finished paintings to have texture and depth, hinting at the process from which they emerged.
