 “I seek visual expression for that which resists verbal or written form: addressing and articulating areas of experience and emotion that otherwise might elude expression.  The quest towards visual and emotional clarity becomes a dialogue between materials/process and intent: the images that survive this rigorous pursuit are those that resonate most strongly, a palimpsest of feeling, experience, memory.  Surfaces, layers, buried images and objects, the use of materials for the feelings they evoke, the sensuality of paint, intuition versus concept, integration, transformation.”
