about the work

Painting is a container; within it permission to side-step prescribed thought patterns, design a new balance, bring forward questions that require strange logic; make a world and run around in it. The work is always ahead; previewing unfolding self-knowing. It’s a conversation with light and the darkest, dimmest places.

The practice is a vehicle of transformation; opening doors to healing, truth, towards freedom. It is a counterpose to rationality and certainty, evading thingness, resolution, constriction, finality.
