Artist Statement:

Paint is seductive terrain.  

I am obsessed with the physicality of paint.  I
am particularly interested in how paint as a
three-dimensional medium can function as a
landscape in and of itself.  The surfaces of
my most recent paintings are up to one inch
thick, with paint liberally applied like icing on
a cake.

When juxtaposed in just the right way, colors
are dynamic and poetic.  I work with colors
until they converse with one another.  The
more intricate the color combination, the
more complex the discourse.  

My paintings are assertions of my belief in
the visual sufficiency of visual art.  I am an
aesthete.  I make work that explores color,
form and surface.  I think in color.  I feel in
color.  As a result, my paintings are raw and
uncensored.
