My paintings make tangible my interest in space, depth, motion and color things that have held my interest for as long as I have been looking around me. I love to work with the intersection of different paints by applying them to the paper and both controlling and not controlling their interactions. At times I break them back down into their original color characters or they may create colors that would not otherwise be on the paper. I like working on paper because it is really flexible which lets me move the paint around in more ways and absorbs the paint in ways I like.

Nature and some aspects of the human-constructed environment inspire me or, perhaps more accurately, awe me. I am not trying to create a pre-conceived vision of anything or mimic my surroundings. My paintings have scenes and characters galore that have emerged from the various paints I have applied. The only thing I plan before I start is what colors I will use first. I start out painting and follow where it is going. I might have an idea about something at some point that later disappears into a later idea. As I work I keep the surface fluid in both literal and/or metaphorical senses.

I create inviting and accessible large scale acrylic paintings that compliment a variety of decors and appeal to a wide, diverse audience. My work is visually intriguing without being confrontational and can engage viewers from close up and afar for both short and long periods of time. My goal for these paintings is both to enhance the environment and to stimulate the observer's vision.
