My paintings are a series of spontaneous, improvised choices, made as I feel and react to relationships within their evolving surfaces. These works depend on form, color, and the tactile realities of paint. As markers of time, these works collect deposits which become their surfaces and layers and evidence of my choices in the studio. I think in terms of looseness versus precision, as well as thickness, flatness, and my desire for colors. I want a whole that’s somehow connected and worked through, one that allows the viewer to find space and can take a sustained gaze.

Marks arrive through acting on the question: What conglomeration would finally feel like the painting is done with me? The painted marks and elements all depend on and celebrate the remarkable sensitivity and uncanny memory that humans possess.
