artist statement

“ I am intrigued with how inner processes come to light through relationships. My paintings are narrative and subjects include family members, friends, movie stills, media images, dreams and architectural scenes.  

I do not try to understand what I am painting, but i do look for a feeling that is elusive yet familiar, and lies in the construction of the space. The presence of things meeting with the presence of other things including the space, inspires me.”
