Artist Statement:
My paintings are usually
created in series. I have an
idea, which leads to
experimentation with various
materials. If these
experiments produce forms that
I find interesting and worthy
of further investigation, a
series is underway. This is
the “variations on a theme”
method of making art.
The ideas that form the
foundation for a series
develop from personal
experience into broader
thoughts about our culture and
about art history. For
example, with the series
called “Growth Patterns,” I
wanted to investigate positive
and negative ideas about
growth, using pattern and
allover compositions. In the
current series, “Postcards
from Monera,” the patterns
have evolved into images of a
microbial universe. This less
formal approach has freed me
to explore the land of Monera
with postmodern abandon.
Both these series emerged as a
response to a personal loss.
“Growth Patterns” was a kind
of salve and “Postcards from
Monera” more of a tonic. But
personal experience, in my
opinion, is only a progenitor
of art, not the art itself.
Without a connection to the
human condition the results
are merely therapeutic –
interesting for the patient,
