Artist Statement February 27th 2007
My paintings are a reflection of emotion captured in layered patterns of structure & chaos. As my style progressed , it lost its form. I began painting more things such as inanimate objects. Just about everything has been painted at some point or another. Living beings where placed within my painting & the paintings came to life. I continue to stretch the boundaries of what may be painted and at the same time continuously long to be engaged with a plain canvas. My favorite thing in the world is to be knee deep in a large painting. At times I perform the techniques I have learned. The interaction which occurs from having an audience is wonderful. I am able to share the techniques I have worked years to perfect. I am able to share these feelings , visually.
