When painting, I consider the interdependence of humanity and nature and how life is ephemeral. In my exploration, a variety of binders and pigment are dispersed with water, oils, and turpentine; echoing the dispersion of my life, moment to moment. I am very physical with my canvases; pouring, spraying, puddling and moving the pieces to create dynamic motion and quiet passages. I scratch at the surface to reveal the growth memory of the work and disperse light by exploring color balances. My curiosity about light and Meditation has taken me to different parts of the world to see how it manifests in different natural eco-systems as well as urban landscapes.

Mankind and Nature, reflect paradox. Like bodies of water, human responses of fluctuating temperament can be calm, receptive, active and powerful. I see that actions in painting or otherwise leave vestiges; lost moments of activity. The paintings are this artists attempt to capture how life passes through choices, beauty, and decay. These considerations are my reflection upon impermanence and the Great Matter of Life and Death.

The work expresses my relationship with perception; in exploring the world's intangible & mysterious, I discover, to my delight, the limitlessness of Ordinary Mind.
