This is the question that i frequently am asked when i talk about my work. I find it more than challenging to give my response. I‘m a painter that works from direct observation and photos…trying to capture what is before me with the most meaningful brush strokes. A confident brush stroke to me is much more exciting that an overthought one. More and more i’m drawn to very large canvas sizes …moving from representational work to abstraction. It’s been very seductive to get lost in the lusciousness of oil paint. Letting my hands move freely across the vast surfaces, watching the interactions of the beautiful colors. It’s an experiment each time I start a new piece…the uncertainty is what fuels the excitement.
