Through the act of painting, the painting itself happens. The process of unfolding and reckoning the relational and emotional structure of a painting is at the heart of my work. Because my paintings develop organically, each one is a journey. Each one teaches me something. Along the way I learn, feel, destroy, remember, discover, lose something. I have taken a risk, resolved a problem. What remains is the visual record of that experience. This meditative practice of balancing the visual space of a canvas with the emotional expression of a moment opens my heart and invites dialogue that goes beyond words.
