Statement
I like to think that my work often begins with memory: fragments of childhood, folklore, and mythology, all existing somewhere between the present and recollection. I try to use color and light as another present element, just like any figure or landscape, bringing everything together. The figures I paint are usually indirect or anonymous. They are not meant to describe specific people, but more to suggest inner states or moments of transformation.
"Past the near meadows, over the still stream,Up the hill-side; and now 'tis buried deepIn the next valley-glades:Was it a vision, or a waking dream?Fled is that music: - Do I wakeor sleep?"J. Keats, "Ode to a Nightingale"
