Artist Statement:
My paintings are about color, shape, and space. I find the
landscape powerful and mysterious. When I start a painting I do not know where it will go. Only after I have resolved it do I understand what drove me to make it.
I believe the sources of painting, and of art generally,
are unknown to us, flowing from some deep and universal reservoir.
