Artist's Statement

 

I love the process of painting...the sensuous feel of placing paint on the canvas, the surprise of seeing how my visual or inner images translate to the two dimensional surface...the delight of seeing what happens when I put one color next to another...the intrigue of making all these elements work together to create a vital painting.
