Artist Statement:
I believe in the importance of the reflective space
provided by painting. I relish the slow time in both
the making and the reading of the work. These
paintings are a distilled chaos riddled with small
incidences of uneasy hilarity, which creates a
rigorous abstraction that is simultaneously
evocative and elusive.
My work is inspired by the poetic potential of a
new vocabulary of abstraction. The varied
meanings and the material possibilities of
pigment are fully explored. Future research will
result with abstract paintings that will be resonant
and unnerving.
