I am interested in making paintings that offer an immediately recognizable image and pattern.  Over time, I want those paintings to slowly reveal a depth of both narrative and process, to ask questions and remain compelling.

Typically, a painting takes several months from start to finish.  I believe in finding a simple solution to a piece,  It is finished when I can "live" with it, or not feel disconcerted when I see it in my studio.

Painting for me is primal and essential.  It is how I connect to the past and find community in the present.
