Artist's
Statement
My paintings begin as rag
tracings or gestures on tinted canvas and progress to intricately imaged
biomorphic landscapes. I work without sketches or ideas, allowing
the painting process itself to inform my work. I utilize a glazing
technique often requiring twenty or more layers to develop color and value.
During the approximately 80 hours that it takes to bring a piece to completion,
the first 60 or so are driven by purely formal concerns, the darkening
of a passage here, the creation of depth or focus there. During
the final quarter of the painting process I begin to understand what the
painting is about. From then on my crafting of the painting is focused
upon developing that concept or image.
