The Wild Ramblings of This Place Painting

I've found my voice through what’s best described as a deliberate, yet intuitive practice. The process of making new work is not an intellectual one, but one of curiosity and attention. The colors I apply layer by layer, the forms that emerge, the areas I obscure and then scrape away—this is a method whereby a new world is formed and the unpredictable revealed. For me, artmaking is a mix of right and left brain, a dance of feeling and thought, a play between improvisation and the application of critical sensibilities. It’s my goal that, through communion with the more broadly interpretive scope of the abstract realm, my work offers a respite from our habitual way of interfacing with the world. I encourage a synergistic relationship between artist, artwork, and viewer and create with the intent that viewers layer their memories and experiences atop my own; that each divine personal significance that’s distinct and meaningful.
