My goal as an artist is to create paintings that are based on classic styles expressed in the past. I hope to reach a sublime visual level while retaining something deeply personal reflecting whatever I am feeling at the moment. I want to explore the area between representation and abstraction. Hidden messages, multiple interpretations. The attraction of things disappearing and what
is left behind. What we think we saw or heard. How we remember. The source of my images come from my imagination, photos, film stills, music, drawings, Art history, travel, conversations, life experiences.
