“AT THE CENTER OF MY dedication to visual art is an ongoing internal struggle with historical images and their meanings. I work to integrate my responses to a range of art historical paintings from medieval to modernist with the seen world in an attempt to imbue abstract imagery with the same emotive weight of storytelling.”

“RECENT WORK EXPRESSES MOMENTS from exploration of the natural sites in New Mexico as well as more intimate motifs found closer, such as spider webs and tumble weeds, the pale colors of the grass and scrub, tree bark and the drama of the sky.”

“I STRIVE TO SUCCEED in combining narrative and formalism like the artists Duccio, Gorky and Miro, and Guston among others.”

“MEDIATING THIS STRANGE AND hypnotic landscape is the language of the color and the geometry of an urban environment.  These disparate languages are both blocked and excavated to form a seamless world of opposition, line and solid form, the tragic and the comic.”
