"I'm dealing with the power of color - the richness of texture created by the complicated layering of imposto, scumbles, and glazes. The edges are my vocabulary - much like Jazz, improvisation is my language. I try to keep pushing the paint- to make things happen is spontaneous ways; I use combinations I've never used before, to see if they can function as a whole. .Each time I begin a painting I am curious myself, to see what will happen... and it is always a surprise."
