"My work is a search for memory unlike photographic memory.  It involves a slowing of time as in a dream.  Continuous events like waves and tides inform the work and the painting process.  The image dawns slowly on the viewer offering a variety of interpretations.

 

The process is unique, but 60’s and 70’s New York painting paved the way. I move between poured paintings on canvas, monoprinting and a wild array of mixed media.

A recipe of paint, salt, oil, and minerals go onto the surface.

Phenomenal and random events in nature echo this.  I aim at a sense of freedom and expansion."
