These works are a personal statement about the creative processes. They move both in and out of space and back and forth in time. Painting from observation, while considering the works of others, fuels my engine of expression and results in a synthesis of ideas that are both reflective and current. By both imposing and finding, the paintings encourage the viewer to think and reflect. The aggressive will to compose and the passive pleasure of seeking combine to make comments on thinking, seeing, creating and painting.
