- Artist Statement
- I believe that intention should dictate the formal qualities of painting. Subject matter, paint application and composition are tools to utilize in making a compelling work. I orchestrate an image that allows multiple readings into the work, so a dialogue is established with the viewer. Perception and personal history lead each viewer to degrees of meaning where concrete conclusions progress into an emotional connection. A successful work should function like a reflection and be a portrait of the viewer.
