Artist Statement

     I paint to create a window that can be moved anywhere you want.  What you see through that window is whatever has caught my eye and then becomes something new through translation.  Focused more on shadows than objects, fascinated by what can't quite be seen in dim places, I paint to reveal the possibilities inherent in mystery and memory. 

     I work with large size canvas because it encourages me to focus on the whole image in balance with detail. There is space for both image and emotion and it allows physical gestures that feel like I am throwing open my arms to welcome the fresh air.

    Colors reflecting off each other ties these elements together in my work, but their impact changes with the surrounding light and angle of view.  My paintings become something of themselves, adding to their surroundings and at once changed by them, just as a blank canvas is changed by the first brush stroke of paint.
