Artist Statement:
When I begin a painting I am
rarely sure how it will
resolve. It is in itself a
part of a greater whole. That

felt or memorized-places of
the mind. I like to think of
them as magical and dream like
aspects of the deeper mind and
subconscious. However my work
is not limited to making
interesting or even thought
provoking pictures, though I
certainly hope they are. I am
after all a painter; which
means that paint itself is my
medium of choice as opposed to
other crafts. I find power
and excitement in the medium
and application, in the fluid
to solid quality. In glazing,
scumbling, scratching,
scraping and wiping away. In
