Painting

"I have been painting since I was a child. Every idea, set of marks, system of formal generation that was once investigated remains in the toolbox of my mind to be pulled out later, reexamined, worked over, and built upon. The movements of my hand are rehearsed a million times. Over time, the steadiness is replaced with a slight tremor that becomes another tool in eliciting response. I intend the paintings to reflect my earlier thoughts, patterns, imagery, antecedents, contemporary culture, my understanding of human response, and my intentions of the moment and each moment during the processes I went through to generate them."

Bodies of Work Develop Simultaneously Over Years

"One body of work reflects my experience of place, time, nature, phenomenon, and geological process associated with Kelleys Island but modified by a lifetime of experience in the arts. Another visits, revisits painting as language, as a method of understanding."

Stone Paintings


"Every beginning is attended by doubt, by willingness to try something different. I am not adequately aware of a satisfactory outcome until the piece approaches a conclusion. If the work gets away from me and the unexpected, unlooked for occurs, so much the better"
