I paint to create a space "to be," a space to reflect and connect me back to the physical world. My images spring when I pause "in the moment" and absorb where I am and what's happening. I'm drawn especially to characteristics that transcend time and exist outside of narrative and that mix the everyday and the transcendent, the scripted and the spontaneous. The impressions are often from my travels, televised sporting events, and music performances. These set the stage, so to speak, where through abstraction and simplification I explore the relationship of space and light to express my experience of these shared times and places.
