 Artist Statement   

    For me a good painting is a presence: an entity that communicates the inner vision and personality of its creator. Beyond that it should have an integrity all its own. It should occupy its space with authority. That is my goal with every painting, whether seeking originality in nature or whimsy in imagination. But not every painting I make becomes a presence. Rediscovering that mysterious formula is what keeps me painting.
