Statement:
My recent work is reductive in form, compositionally centered, and employs a spontaneous and intuitive array of colors, shapes, and textures. Using these elements I create visual dualities: chance vs. control, organic vs. geometric, warm vs. cool, large vs. small, etc.

I aim to create paintings with a sensation similar to that of a clear thought--the idea has its bases covered; there’s no room for argument. In reality, however, these paintings are not clear thoughts; they are much more open than that. They are more of a confrontation: between what I desire to know and what I can never know entirely.
