statement

My paintings explore a personal approach to abstraction, as well as a continuing interest in the formal qualities of color, color temperature, shape, and edge. Rooted in everyday observation and experience, the paintings record as they reinvent particular time(s) and space(s). Elements of incongruity and resolution, fracture and fusion, and the variable rhythm of daily life are reflected in this newly faceted body of work. Any one of a number of visual cues can instigate a painting, but ultimately my process yields to the liberty of the materials and the singular necessity of each piece.
