My work expresses a love of systems and a catalogue of feelings. Nuance and measurement are a fluid part of my process. The paintings mark time and its passage. The work is labor intensive, utilizing dozens of layers of paint until the surface is just right. I am currently creating Patterns of Perception, large-scale paintings of complex asymmetrical geometries. The paintings are acrylic, oil, oil in high-melt waxes or combinations of mediums, dependent upon the need of each work.
