It’s not a cat by a window or flowers or a tree. It is visual emotion. I paint because there is nothing through which I can combine my love for color with a tactile experience and create such an exciting, raw result. I am driven in a very primitive direction by a very instinctive force. Physical elements are as important as the visual. Closure of a piece, when I know I am done, is when the movement is complete. Then I can step away and release it. What I hope the viewer will feel, whether consciously or not, is the flow of each piece, the feeling of completion, of a harmony within the initially chaotic.
