My work translates the history of abstraction into a personal idiom that includes design, gesture, and shape. The tradition and convention of abstract paintings are the vehicle by which I re-inscribe my connection to the world.

It’s a process by trial and error, based on the belief that painting can be both evocative and straightforward, simultaneously conjuring up the world beyond its edges, while appearing to tell nothing more than the story of it’s making.

So it is with my artistic development and connection to abstract painters of the past. I am shaped and guided by those that came before me ( Motherwell, Rothko, Diebenkorn, and Pollock among others), giving me a solid foundation. My relationship with these past icons has allowed me to grow and shape my own path
