My art-making process:

I chose subjects as jumping off points, vehicles to explore what I am feeling.

Responses and perceptions are fleeting, so I chose

abbreviative marks to express that.

I would call my painting style

EXPRESSIVE REALISM

My aim has always been to make work which is compelling in it its beauty, or at least in trying the way a piece of music can be.
