“My paintings are about texture, gesture, and memory,
and often evoke a sense of place. Words, feelings, ‘aha’ moments: things that make an impression on me become the source, a reservoir that I draw from when I paint. Responding intuitively to random marks, I am driven by an exploration of the materials as much as by my emotional response to the evolving painting. Ultimately, it is all about the process: finding a sense of order, refuge, and being able to let go, become im- mersed in the moment, the visceral physicality of engaging the surface and then finding just the right balance between intention and intuition to bring the composition to a satisfying conclusion.”
