About the Work:
“Although most, but not all, of my paintings are of recognizable scenes and objects, they are not primarily about them. My paintings are an exploration of the structural relationship between gesture, shape, and space through the manipulation of color and texture. Color is not just a means to represent daily reality but a poetic device to arrive at a deeper, truer reality. The paintings are about discovering a kind of dynamic balance, a feeling of completeness, however temporary, much as poetry is. I don’t simply try to make a painting; instead I try to find the art in the painting.”
