My work is a visceral and intuitive process of responding to my subject until the surface reveals shifting glimpses  of both light and  space.  Opposing tensions intrigue me: energy and enervation, light and dark, the seen and  unseen, the flatness of the surface and its  counterpoint—deep illusionistic space, opacity and transparency,  geometry and chaos.  It is a layering of experiences—perceived,  remembered, and imagined through color and  line; all the while interacting with the evolving nature of the work itself, thus revealing  unexpected complexity and  nuance.
