Artist's Statement
Most of my paintings employ images that have been culled from mass media. My most recent paintings are of film stills; they capture a frozen moment in time where dramatic gesture and narrative becomes suspended. I love to paint. I am deeply influenced by early Modernism. Painting for me is part of an on going search for a personal structure (grid) with which to best express my temporal view of the world. I use color as a means of subjective expression. I find the act of painting to be very cathartic.
