About

Because I work intuitively, I don’t know what the painting is about until it’s finished. I’m very drawn toward making the unseen, seen. My influences are all things metaphysical. I love color, which is the deepest mystery of all. As I work I always listen to music. I paint because it’s impossible to imagine not painting.

 Art is the triumph over chaos. - John Cheever
