I love a good adventure and pursue constant exploration, always stretching for something new. My paintings reveal place-moments in time from the serenity of a landscape … to the horror of a nightmare. Alone in the studio, I listen to each painting. My fingers push and pull at the very threads of story and timeless existence…until imagery, color and texture develop into a narrative. Descended from a long line of herbalists and storytellers, I discover many primordial (and sometimes surreal) connections flowing naturally. While I trust in automatic painting, media and substrate are chosen deliberately for each piece.
