Artist Statement:
Many new canvases fill the
walls of my studio. A good
portion of them have yet to
really be started. Wood Putty
is in the plastic containers,
the color is in new glass

easy to mix color without
having to constantly checking
the plastic container to see
if the color looks to what I
am desiring it to be. There's
a new bag full of unstretched
canvas in my closet that is
begging to become paintings.
My floor is covered with the
rosin paper I use to help make
sure the color doesn't drip
onto the floors, though there
is already little spots here
and there with a little bits
of red, blue, or green. It
adds character to the floor
and lets people who enter my
studio know they are around a
painter. I have a throw of
old canvas tacked up to the
floor and wall where I do the
bulk of my painting before it
visits the floor for it's
final layer or layers of
color. The throw is made from
a section of old canvas I
didn't think I would ever use.

| Your Personal Biography |
My paintings are tactile in nature, the way the material leaves layers...however subtle or bombastic, creates a presence that begs to be experienced in person. The viewer must give themselves completely over to their concentration.
I have in the past, come across some great painters who's works have given me great courage to continue on...if only to push myself, to find myself.
I would say my work has a lot to do with Mark Rothko and Jackson Pollock to begin with. Also with Brice Marden's older paintings. And some painters who's works you may not have heard of. Like Joseph Marioni, Phil Sims, Rudolf De Crignis, Frederic Matys Thursz, and Joseph Hughes.
This is just some starting points for those interested in my works.
Imagine describing a Rothko to one who knows nothing of art...it just doesn't work.
