I love layers and strata that evoke history and transition. I’m interested in what’s underneath the surface of things. I think of ruins of ancient cities buried under new ones, the remains of Shakespeare’s theatre unearthed, even a King of England found buried under a parking lot. I’m also intrigued by the emotions and thoughts that lie underneath the surfaces we present to the world.

Creating intuitive abstracts with oil and cold wax uncovers my emotions and preoccupations. Working this way is like taking a journey into a new place without a map. My wish is to connect with the viewer of my work, sharing what can’t be expressed in words.

I build up many layers, incise, scribble, scrape back, and texture my work, allowing each piece to tell its own story.
