ARTIST'S STATEMENT

My work has been described as abstract expressionist in nature.  I am fascinated by the creative and sometimes counter-intuitive juxtaposition of colors and shapes, and of order and disorder (or organization and randomness, if you please), and how a single work can integrate different elements in one way or another.  As soon as a “style" starts to feel comfortable, I feel compelled to make changes, sometimes subtle, sometimes profound, in order to maintain a vitality to the work.  Ultimately, I have come to rely on painting to serve as a constructive method of expressing emotion in a non-verbal fashion
