Statement 

Every sensation I’ve known can potentially find its way into  my paintings. The colors, shapes, and textures in them  have qualities that I have perceived, or that I remember,  even fleetingly. This happens whether I intend it or not.  My work arises from a fascination with structure. Each  painting establishes its own unique context, or world. It  may have elements that evoke still-life, landscape, or  portrait painting, or some combination of any of these, or  perhaps something else entirely. I want to sum up the  mood of being in a place and time, whether it is distant or  close, whether it is in the past or now.
