My
painting is an exploration of the often overlooked qualities of
objects: the play of light on a casual grouping; a chance relationship
of objects, a juxtaposition of textures, colors or shapes that combine
with the manipulation of paint to express something striking...
something deeper than their casual presence would at first suggest.
This fascination with light and the expressiveness inherent in our
physical reality comes from twenty years working in Film and Video
production.
