I slap paint on the surface, pour it, scrape it, push it, and move it around with my fingers. I am not gentle or delicate in my approach to painting. Shapes and forms will appear and recede on the surface as my subject emerges. I prefer to keep my palette limited and my canvas and brushes large.

I’ve always loved to draw, and use all sorts of materials to find interesting ways to create marks. I work with a variety of materials, predominantly oils, including pigments, graphite, charcoal, spray paint and the occasional element of collage and/or image transfer.
