Artists Statements

Throughout history artists have used the line to articulate the relationship between the elemental proportions of voids between and fullness. Vertical, horizontal straight, curved, angular - the choice is infinite.

The contemporary artist has devoted much time, energy, and passion to rediscovering the essential - in life and in painting.

This present series employs fluid lines over broad monochromatic spaces to deconstruct visual composition to its primary components. The result being a return to the basic immediacy of perception.

At each visual juncture only the present moment exists.

The images are drawn from a personal archive - a visual diary and record of countless attempts to chronicle this return.

Every painting has been continually refined, capturing a fragment of the momentum to be retrieved by the viewer.
