Artist Statement
Painting is - regardless of subject - an emotional and physical response to the world. My process is an alla prima pouring out of paint and silenced emotions. Their escape onto the canvas informs my style, my voice. Whether painting colorful land and skyscapes, dogs or abstracts, it is from line and gesture that I derive great satisfaction. For that reason I prefer to paint large and loose without regard for the details of realism.
