I have been a practicing artist for the past 19 years, focusing primarily on painting. I’m interested in the necessities involved in the act of painting as well as the concept behind a particular piece or series’ germination. The physical and mental act of art making is one of problem solving. My approach to each painting is a conversation between the work and myself. I am not interested in a rote approach to process. There is in me, a refusal to have the work recognized by an identifiable style; ‘A Fine Disregard’ for convention. A series of work is never abandoned. It can always be revisited and informed by new directions that have been taken. New work, in turn, responds to parameters set up in previous series.
