        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.
