Artist Statement:
My painting is based on the
figure and it's relationship
to inanimate objects in
obscure locales. Mysterious,
symbolic, and intimate, the
dramas unfold in a place where
time and space are compressed.
I paint for the mind's eye.
Logic and common sense only
interfere. My work lives in a
visionary world, where
symbolism and dislocation
breathe. Where gravitational
laws are often abandoned and
the images capture moments
when the mind is disoriented.

isolated everyday items.
Subjects cross-reference each

be entirely encased in their
own thoughts. They are
sometimes repeated within the
same painting, lost in
thought. The paintings inspire
thought on the minutiae of
daily living. Rather than
simple colorful pictures;

mindscapes; where imagination
is the key for the
visual/emotional experience.
In my dream world, ideas
blossom and time momentary

I work from live models,
charcoal drawings and a very
active imagination. As a
painting progresses, I begin a
narrative inspired by the
various subjects at hand.
Images, thoughts and
environments accumulate. These
are not premeditated works.
There is an ongoing
transformation of form, of
