Artist's Statement
With the exception of commissioned or illustration work, I explore implied open narratives with layers of meaning inbedded and unearthed in figuration and abstraction.
I start with observational and invented drawings in my sketchbooks, then build with collage, painting, drawing, often extensively editinging, towards resolution.
Often sparked by a specific idea, the work process unearths discovered forms, scenerios, and meanings.
I find myself revisiting and continuing work on pieces often over many years, and only when a work finds a home outside my studio do I consider it finished.
