Artist Statement
Because I’m such a nomad and wander around the globe, I’m always after a place of “home” in the paintings, of openhearted familiarity that’s expansive and rich and wonderfully mysterious. It has a kind of satisfying complexity to it.
That’s the place I want the paintings to touch in the viewer. It may look a bit different for each person, which is why I often name the paintings enigmatically, but it is a universally recognized experience. It’s a place of curiosity and exploration, of recognizing a kind of internal resonance.
