“I work often in very long stretches of time. Approaching my pieces primarily emotively; I paint spontaneously; striving to capture a thought, a feeling; not the precision of a photographic image, but of a memory, of a mood.
Every painting is unique; and will evolve through concept sketching, to the initial strokes, to bolder, thicker application; gathering energy as it goes.
Some pieces are sketched and painted entirely from start to finish in one sitting with quick, sure movements. Some pieces require more sittings and I will work layer upon layer onto a piece until I am satisfied with the composition, image and execution.
Often, I will give a piece a final touch with brushwork, lending just that last bit of movement and energy it needs to see it through the turmoil of creation to settle into it’s resting place.”
