AS AN ABSTRACT PAINTER, I AM FASCINATED BY TAKING ASPECTS OF MY PHYSICAL WORLD AND RECONFIGURING THEM INTO COLORFUL, PATTERN-LADEN COMPOSITIONS. MY PROCESS VARIES FROM PIECE TO PIECE: I MAY BEGIN WITH A BASIC GRID, DRAW FROM A PHOTOGRAPH I HAVE TAKEN, OR BUILD OUTWARD FROM A COLOR SCHEME BORROWED FROM A PARTICULAR OBJECT OR FORM. I RARELY SKETCH OUT MY IDEAS IN ADVANCE, RELYING INSTEAD ON INTUITIVE DECISION-MAKING AS EACH PAINTING UNFOLDS. MUCH OF MY WORK MOVES THROUGH MULTIPLE REWORKINGS BEFORE A COMPELLING VISUAL DIRECTION TAKES HOLD.

PATTERNING IS CENTRAL TO MY PRACTICE—SOMETIMES MATHEMATICAL, SOMETIMES ORGANIC—AND FUNCTIONS AS A MEANS OF ACTIVATING THE FORMS AND COLORS THAT EMERGE ON THE SURFACE. IT IS THROUGH PATTERN THAT EACH COMPOSITION FINDS ITS SENSE OF MOVEMENT AND VITALITY.
