ARTIST STATEMENT    07/25/2020
     In the daily process of painting, there is the interaction of idea, the picture plane and myself. These three elements often resist each other, always searching for comfort and resolve.
    To inspire original visual compositions, I imagine different scenes. Contained within these small vignettes will be discrete instants of compelling pictorial interest. In archetypal fashion, these moments arrest motifs of the psyche, and  forge a personality upon the picture plane that can have meaning for the viewer.
