Since ancient times, many have seen painting as either an exercise in artifice or in poesis. My interest lies in the combination of the two, exploring relationships I notice through observation and expressing them in ways which both defy and define the boundaries of representation.

I find greatest inspiration working from nature, observing sublime dualities of destructive and reconstructive elements through temporal relationships of color, subject, and form.

The resulting images reflect the search for beauty as a journey through the fluidity of perception, revealing aspects of process, points of departure for inspiration, and image as integral elements in the practice of painting.
