Artist's Statement -

We look at a person’s face and attempt to learn from it something about it’s owner. We look at a painting (abstract or figurative) and attempt to learn something about the painter. Both have arrived at their current condition over a period of time. Each is a layered record of thoughts and emotions, a visual history of something interior.

Each of my paintings is a diary, a recording of my countless attempts to make something interior visible. they are intended to be neither illustrations nor snapshots of emotional moments, but rather, histories of my interior cross-currents.

My paintings are a visual record of me. Self portraits? Maybe. Perhaps they are best described a visual essays, or perhaps obituaries.
