My goal, in my work, is to find the intersection point between intellect and emotion. I hope my paintings touch ideas and emotions for which there are no words. I also believe carefully integrated color is needed to push the boundaries of thought into an emotional response to a painting. I want my paintings to dance, to vibrate. An intense, primary palate is where I begin; quiet restful areas give the painting balance. The painting I begin and the painting I complete are rarely the same. My paintings evolve on the canvas. The give and take of the painting process is, for me, a joy. I love the contest....the chess match...between me and the canvas.
