Through painting I create a sense of place; an environment built to invoke wonder. Images in the paintings are not singular or literal. They are a suggestion, an interpretation, memory or experience.

The process is layered formally, and conceptually. A faux architecture is drawn with transparent washes, masked shapes and graphite lines, on which swift gestures and expressive attacks with paint hang. Each stage repeats often, generating specificity. Bold, fanciful color and varied texture add tension, often overriding drawn space. Phenomenon of painting and place combine.
