My paintings are based on the space I move through, often from my travels. Working intuitively,
I use the nature of materials as an equal partner along with memory, sketches, and photographs,
sometimes layering and colliding impressions, sometimes pulling in close on a single detail.
Over time each mark, perfect or imperfect, builds on the last, leading to an abstract distillation — a "Shelley" space — in which I discover more about visual experience and perception — and, I hope,
invite others to explore further for themselves. each mark, perfect or
imperfect, responds to the prior and influences the next thus contributing to the end composition.
