In this painting I took a lighter approach to building shape and form by allowing the underlying red to remain visible. Most of the time I will continue layering and repainting until nothing of the initial image remains. While somewhat uncomfortable I decided to let this one be in its present state.

Growing up in the midwest in a Jewish family of ex-New Yorkers created a sense at an early age that I neither belonged or was understood. With painting I can release the energy that builds from being uncomfortable by creating spaces I control through color and composition. This is the inspiration and motivation for where my work begins.
When approaching painting from an internal place rather than from life, the challenge is to resolve images that function both emotionally and pictorially; and knowing when to stop. While I look for meaning in these paintings, I am also ambivalent as that is not what drives me to paint. When a mark or juxtaposition of two colors feels deeply right, that is what resonates most powerfully and drives me to see how far I can take a piece until it feels resolved.
