I'm an architect and a painter.


IMPROVISATION -

Nothing is preconceived.
I start with a blank canvas and add a mark.
Each stroke that comes after that
is informed by what preceded
until it’s done.
Sometimes it’s never done.


ABSTRACTION-

What is real and what is abstract?
My paintings are about paint on canvas
color, shape, line, texture
and how that all comes together
to form something beyond that.
They don’t represent something else
not sky, landscape, or figure.
So are they abstract or are they concrete?


SEMANTICS-

“Whatever it means I meant it.”
George Bireline, 1981
NCSU School of Design
I believe the viewer brings
just as much to a picture’s meaning
as does the maker.

NCSU 1985 & 1990
