Artist Statement:
My painting is both realistic
and abstract, it is on that
elusive edge between there and
not there. On first look
everything is in place, then
all dissolves. I want realism
and abstraction to take turns.
I want a painting sometimes
very evocative of time and
place, sometimes overwhelming
in abstract, structural logic.
I look for a surprise, a
drama, a different way of
seeing. I try not to see
anything for itself alone, but
as a part of the whole. In
this context, my subjects take
on meanings other than the
accustomed ones. They are
more than still life and
landscape; they are comments
on thinking and seeing.
