Each painting represents an expedition into uncharted territory. I have no idea where I’m going when I start out. I trust my instincts and allow my hands to lead, adding and deleting, destroying and building back. I think of my creative process as improvisational music or dance. I strive to free my mind of thoughts and proceed intuitively. Slowly something emerges from the layers. Many risks are taken along the way. Many doubts and frustrations are overcome. Each painting may shroud dozens of paintings underneath. I keep working until the composition resonates.
While I draw inspiration from various sources the seasons, and places lived, visited, and imagined, hold special significance.
Currently, my focus lies in exploring the interplay between defined shapes and their deconstructed counterparts.
