I start my paintings with a subject and structure in mind; a subject color. It’s like seeing someone you know from a great distance and
that has energy to me. Chance and accident play a major role in my recognizing who they are by the way they move. I know very quickly
process. Surprise takes over early. I started to edit out and build upon when my stroke is fluid and spontaneous. I want spontaneity. After
what is working. When the images comes about by accident they seem the initial beginnings of the work, I don’t really think my paintings out,
fresher, more organic, more inevitably. Instinct takes charge. Sort I watch the disposition of the forms and light and color as the forms
of a reinvention of reality, like walking a fine line between figurative shape themselves. My paintings grow from within and I participate in
and the abstract. I try to capture the energy with form and light and the process not unlike a conductor.
