RECENT WORK
Paint, why paint? I love paint, the physical properties of it and its ability to transform a blank canvas: magically, layer by layer to create an image translating one perception to another. Everyone has painted a wall or a picture. It is one of the most immediately accessible and pervasive mediums. Paint is surprising. It seems paradoxical in that everything is there on the surface, the paint, the forms, and yet in some way, they remain mysterious.

In my work I am concerned with time, spatial relationships, light/color, line, thinking and daily living. I am fascinated by edges: the lines that define the boundary between a form and space. I set narrow limits concentrating on particular forms and a primary palette. The formal or compositional elements interest me; they are puzzles and support the expressive element of the process of painting and relate to the felt and physical experience of my world. For me, it is in the relationship of the elements, the spaces between things where meaning and the imagination reside.
