From the artist:

I have been painting for as long as I can remember. First, there was the wood stove, melting crayons on the hot, slick surface; watching the colors run, mingle, create new hues. Then there was the garden mud, blossoms, twigs, and leaves; organized into overlapping shapes with lost edges and hard edges. Always, there was the telling of a story, of the discovery of the moment and of the universal constants. 

I have tried to record these discoveries through art, and most often through painting. Like story telling, painting is a messy business. It is not unusual for the painting to talk back, to challenge the focal point, or the central theme of the story.

As an artist, I know that I must listen when a painting talks to me, for there are many things I have yet to understand. As I wrestle with the story, it comes into focus and becomes a deeper, richer story than the one I had imagined, or it becomes completely unhinged, akin to a miscarriage — a painful lesson on mortality — but even in these moments, there is grace (after some deep breathing, etc.).

A painting that survives and lives, like a well-crafted story, speaks not only to the story-teller, but to the listener. You, as the viewer of my paintings, are the listener. You bring your experiences, struggles and successes, sorrows and joys, and, yes, those feisty personal demons. You hear the parts of the story that interface with your life.
