statement

My paintings respond to visual discovery derived from looking or noticing. The painters that influence me the most exhibit a deeper and more mysterious narrative undercurrent in their work, rather than a nature of replication. I believe in a marriage between the perceptual response and the narrative. There is no recipe for combining the two, but rather a reaction to what I see. My deepest inspiration is the hope that my paintings originate from a point outside of myself.
