My work is a search for memory. It involves a slowing of time as in a dream. Continuous events like waves and tides inform the work and the painting process. The image dawns slowly on the viewer offering a variety of interpretations. The process is unique, but 60's and 70's New York painting paved the way. I move between poured paintings on canvas, mono-printing and a wild array of mixed media. A recipe of paint, salt, oil, and minerals go onto the surface. Phenomenal and random events in nature echo this. I aim at a sense of freedom and expansion.. derived from the meses of Taos. Powerlessness and gravity are important themes in my work. The random aspects of experimentation, plus a studio featuring a wide range of materials, are metaphors- and a message to the viewer.
