Artist's Statement

I am interested in the process of painting.  I usually use palette knives to apply oil paint on canvas.  I try to make art that is simple and to the point.

Paintings, to some extent, have a mind of their own.  It is my job to recognize this, to leave areas that show potential and contribute to the whole.  I try to take advantage of accidents.  Every inch of the picture plane is important.  I like distorted grids and drips.  I experiment with intense areas of color and form and how they work with space.  I try to create tension between the interior body of the picture plane and the edges.  I enjoy adding an unexpected hue that harmonizes or enlivens the whole and I like texture.

While working on a canvas, I feel angst, frustration, quiet satisfaction and joy.  The process challenges me.
