Artist Statement: I make exploratory paintings and drawings working directly and urgently in response to my immediate environment. My approach involves moment-to-moment extrapolation governed by intuitive leaps of scale, color and wayward geometry. As I work, contrasts and cross-fertilizations unfold and are cumulative, non-linear, free flowing and interpretive. Space becomes an ambiguous and malleable substance; its manipulation and acrobatic handling become a kind of gymnasium of mark-making and image collision. For me, painting and drawing parallels the act of seeing and is the most direct link to private time with the physical world. Despite the urgency of my process, as I work, time slows down. My work becomes a record of exploration and a reflection of my inherent energy and reason for living.
