“I like a large canvas because it gives me room to reach and to stretch. I like the act, the physicality of painting, and I try to reflect that in my work. The shapes I create bend and twist, push and pull, as people do. My paintings are my worlds. Worlds that I can control. Although my works are sometimes non-representational, they, like the world around us are composed of motion, light, and space.”

“I use a strong diagonal thrust to add power to the motion. I work by applying many layers of paint to the canvas, building a complex surface of planes and color. Visually, I like the sense of depth that I can get from this technique, and thematically it reflects the way I see the world. My inspiration often comes from dance, music, and events happening around us.”
