My work begins with the impression of a landscape, whether imagined, real, or dreamed. Perhaps it was a fleeting image, as if glimpsed from a speeding car, then remembered and revisited later on. The painting emerges out of the color memories, and the shapes appear during the process of layering pigment on paper or canvas – sometimes one or two layers, sometimes a hundred layers, until my vision is as clear to the viewer as it is to me. I hope that my work will bring light into people’s lives, and reawaken them to the beauty of nature.
