Experimentation and curiosity drive my studio practice.

In much the same way as sustained dialogue invites tangents that branch off from  main topics, these compositions embrace improvisation and invention.

I hope to capture the energy that comes from the interplay of ideas and images that   viewers can explore and bounce off each other.

Currently I am fascinated by how the surface of a painting is built. An initial concept committed to canvas gives way to a fresh idea.  Rather than returning to a blank canvas, I choose to honor the preliminary image by allowing the revised concept to interact with the first layer. A painting that allows two separate aesthetics to be in conversation excites me. In addition, I have come to appreciate the value of letting go of preconceptions in my work.
