    Okay here’s my first shot at an artist statement. I have a feeling it’s something that is always a work in progress..

    For me, paintings are like journeys. Sometimes I know exactly where I want to go, other times I’m just out to see what I can find. But I never know exactly where I’ll end up, there’s always some mystery about it. Much of the time I am improvising, either trying to express specific feelings through color and brush stroke, or alluding to something in the world I’m looking at or have seen. In the end my hope is that I build even relationship between forms, against space, with line, that there is still room for the viewer to interpret, see different ways and be of interest to the viewer, myself included. And while I can help guide the work, they are individual reflections of what I’ve seen in the world and have a life of their own.
