Artist Statement:
"I rarely commence a new work with a firm and premeditated idea. Instead my paintings and sculptures take shape in a steady stress of creativity. There is and unspoken dialogue between me and my materials. It is as if the forms and colors are speaking to me and as I work, sometimes over a period of many hours the images reveal themselves. The final result can be a landscape, a figure, a series of abstract or structural forms or become a combination of all three."
