Artist Statement
What interests me is ongoing connection with the creative energy that informs all inspired human activity, whatever that activity may be. The way I feel while painting is very similar to the zen-like state that in the past I was able to enter as a distance runner. Here, intuition is heightened, the analytical mind evaporates and actions spring from a knowing rather than deciding. All is one, all is timeless, all is as it is. For me, this is a fascinating place of relief, renewal, magic and surprise; it’s a very hopeful place and I like to think people can feel that energy in the paintings.
I create large contemporary abstract paintings from my home studio in Los Angeles. I also collaborate with Skid Row based mosaic arts nonprofit Piece by Piece to produce large combination painting/mosaic artworks..
