"My paintings are studies of memory and place. My work mainly is abstraction, because I feel that most memories are simply recordings of colors, textures, or sounds. I develop them, adding and subtracting paint, scraping, taking away, and playing with color and texture. It is through this process that the work begins to develop and feel fully realized. I work intuitively in each work and let the act of painting guide me through each step. It is through this process that I am able to convey a sense of depth in my work and truly feel that it is resolved. My goal in each work is for the painting to take on it's own voice and, in essence, to become another place other than the initial trace of memory."
