My art and life are a study of contrasts; order and chaos, thick and thin, questioning and acceptance. Using rich surfaces and layers of glass, I contrast fleshy realism with abstraction. Immediacy and restraint, delicacy and directness; I balance bold composition and nuanced line. I’m a maker of pictures and teller of stories; soothed by familiar fluency, yet stirred by ecstatic newness. Fleeting gesture on solid ground, murky meaning and bruising impact, unrest and eerie calm. I crave clarity as I brave the blurred lines.
