My goal as a painter is to address the many layers of complex nuances and subtle interactions between the physical world and the underlying constructs of the immaterial.  I strive to work beyond the traditionally divided space into forms of open, visually fluid fields, revealing movement, light and energy.

Working through discovery and intuition rather than preconception or linear thinking, I combine the spontaneous use of color with a slow process of multiple layers of translucent oil washes, building the surface until it shifts towards a luminous atmosphere.  Exploring the interaction between the paintings and the audience further, the uneven edges open the picture plane to let it merge into the viewer’s space.

I think of my paintings as energetically charged fields conveying a vibrant, flowing lightness that reaches beyond its own borders – a type of visual energy which activates its surrounding space and invites the viewer’s perception to shift beyond the obvious.
