from drawing to painting keep me fresh, it forces me to make quick decisions with pigment and brushes or
oil bars. I want the viewer to see the quickness of my brushwork as I race to capture the past’s fleeting
imprint on the present moment.
In my softly rendered paintings, I first layer color to establish harmony and composition. The dance of time
with form, space, and light are created with a rhythm of hard and soft edges. In the ambiguous areas of
shadow I create hidden imprints of the past by drawing over more loosely applied pigment. These textural
passages beckon the viewer to contemplate my impression of a swift moment in time.
