When I work, my intention is to create an image that is intimate and enduring.  There are times when sketching an idea, my method is free and rapid. Other times, the process is lengthy and undergoes many changes. Some paintings I have worked on over several years.  

My working method often involves putting something down, wiping it out, and repeating that process until I have built up some layers to work on. This helps me to apply various elements throughout a picture. Some elements include areas of transparent and opaque, thin and thick paint, and sharp and soft edges.

Timelessness is an important feature of my work. It is an aspect that has always appealed to me. Even in my earliest pieces, I represented scenes in a way that created a distance from the present while at the same time dealt with relevant themes like loss and friendship.

Whether in music, poetry, sculpture or painting, I always admire works that transcend their age to remain relevant and meaningful. I enjoy how they seem to be in one sense not real yet go on delivering some vital message from across the void of space and time.
