I have never spoken in a complex manner concerning my art.  I am one of those individuals who does not believe that the power of complexity is greater than the power of simplicity.  It is my aim to produce images that are of things I observe that hold my interest.  In mixing, moving and applying the oil paint that is my chosen medium, I hope to express something that goes beyond simple representation and moves toward a new language of the image that is constructed in terms of color, form and texture.

It has been said that only through painting can we truly touch the soul of another.  Through experimentation, the journey never ends in discovering new approaches to a subject and capturing its essence.  If there is anything at all that I want my paintings to achieve, it would be the touching of another's soul by means of a new way of seeing the world.  I find fulfillment by applying paint to the canvas similar to how a poet strings words together on a page.

I work in a 1,500 square foot studio in Maidens, Virginia.
