My paintings speak with an abstract language that is deeply personal, one that emerges from the energy of gesture drawing, the luminosity of the landscape, and archetypes of renewal.
I’m inspired by elements that shimmer and shift in beautiful ways. I paint energy more than shape, paint what is felt as much as what is seen. Marks come together as forms. Others evaporate into the field. Each painting holds a search for a balance point between order and abandon, where the unconscious can meet the outer world. Each is my attempt at tapping into the continuum that connects us, hopeful for a glance of something larger and more elusive.
