American Painter

Art can offer us opportunities to move beyond our preconceived notions of reality and see the world in new ways. Creativity arises from an openness to those possibilities and for me, the medium can be interchangeable. It’s all about self expression and communication, whether it be painting, photography, music or performance.

As a painter, I try to look beyond my conditioned and filtered perceptions. My process starts somewhere between pure spontaneity and loosely planned. I don’t try to force a rigid, pre-conceived vision as I usually find that the paint and canvas have things to say along the journey…. I consider them collaborators.
