Squinting may give me crow's feet, but it enables me to see the world the way I want to paint it. I ignore realistic detail in favor of shapes, color, and patterns. Squinting helps me see and express the essence of a subject whether I'm painting on location or in the studio.
I love painting landscapes, still life and figurative subjects, but it I feel myself drawn more and more to nonrepresentational abstracts. Whether I’m working in acrylic, oils, or oil and cold wax, my visual language includes drips, layers, scraping through layers, pencil and other line work, and bold brush strokes. I want my viewers to see my process and to know without doubt that an artist's hand was at work.
