Artist Statement:
I make paintings with textured
surfaces formed by mixing sand
and
other materials with paint.
They are somewhat reminiscent
of the
surfaces of the old walls,
buildings and ruins I saw when
I toured
Italy.
But these paintings are about
more than interesting surface
textures.
They are more about the
feelings one has when faced
with the ancient
structures and old walls, the
weathered and scarred but
still
standing works of humanity.
They're about those parts of
our best
efforts that do not erode with
time even as our structures

those made for gods) and our
own bodies gradually succumb
to it.
They're about time and the
timeless human spirit.
