“For me, painting is a process of discovery. Like an archeologist, I start with an idea of what I'm after without knowing exactly what I'll find; images trigger memory and emotion, and as I paint I follow the emotion and find layers of meaning. My paintings combine elements that are imagined or abstracted with those directly observed. I seek to expose and reveal the personal and particular while touching the universal.”
