About

Using oils, enamels, newspaper, cardboard and an assortment of media, I have taken decades of personal and artistic experience to create something that originates in the subconscious and translates into something quite primal and universal.

An idea for a piece can come from any number of places, a certain frame of mind, a color or a newspaper article. Sometimes it’s as simple as the canvas speaking directly to me. A majority of the time I begin with a single color, without theme or intention in mind. The story unfolds as I paint, coming to life without force or coercion. A piece is done when the story is told. There have been times when the story evolves so much that I create paintings on top of paintings.

What I am most interested in is the relationship color and line has with each other. There is a substance to my paintings that comes from my subconscious but is collectively understood.
