“Although we are each on our own journey, we have shared experiences: we are both part of the story in my work”

“To say that a work is ‘abstract’ is to say only that it does not represent and is not even representational. ‘Astract’ is often combined with another term that indicates a primary function or feature of a work, as for example in ‘Abstract Expressionist’. Other combinations may be contemplated, such as ‘abstract allusionist’. ‘Abstract representational’ would, of course, be self-cancelling, and, strictly, so would ‘abstract portrait’ and ‘abstract landscape’. These latter terms, however, can be regarded as indicating that representation, though not altogether absent from the work, is subordinated to other symbolic functions such as exemplification, expression or allusion.”

“My work is very process driven. Although there is a clear intent from the outset with developing the composition, painting studies, and color palette decisions, the approach is quite spontaneous. I paint and then un-paint; scratch to remove; analyze and act again. It is a repetitive sequence and the painting is complete when I find equilibrium; a balance in vertical and horizontal elements. There is a strong juxtaposition in my work; a calm tension; simple complexity; calculated spontaneity; familiar and unfamiliar; dramatic quietness.”
