About
I paint almost exclusively in acrylic on a variety of surfaces, employing a selection of non-traditional painting tools – many of which I make myself – to achieve tone, texture, scale, substance … and surprise. My technique is primarily spontaneous with traces of the disciplined penmanship of calligraphy.
By interposing a mechanical device into an intuitive act, I arrive at a form of deep expression that is unforced, in which the paint becomes raw and direct. I also believe that the human body is less apt than the mind to create something contrived, so I treat the act of painting as a full-body experience. This unorthodox process becomes a play between control over materials and an open and permissive attitude toward technique, allowing it to mold the image as it will.
When I begin a painting, I don't know how it will end, but I know that everything I have seen and experienced will influence the outcome. Each piece evolves as though it were a conversation between old friends... sometimes lighthearted and joyful, sometimes contentious and troubling. In the end – for me – it’s all about painting “in the moment,” delighting in the physical and letting it be. Just that simple … and complicated.
