Artist Statement

Though I discovered my passion for painting in my mid-30s, I’ve always had an active imagination and a knack for telling stories. I suppose it’s only fitting then that my work has evolved from reveling in abstraction for the sheer joy of pushing, slinging and scraping paint to abstraction as a vehicle for shaping stories, though ambiguous they may be. I call them “future archaeologies,” newly recorded histories from the vantage point of some distant future – tales penned in paint, inspired by an imaginative engagement with the materials needed to tell the story that emerges out of the process itself.
