My approach to painting can be compared to stream of consciousness writing. I begin with a color palette that conveys my emotional state at a particular moment in time, and start applying the paint without a preconceived notion of content. The content simply evolves spontaneously and intuitively. One brush stroke calls for the next. Themes flow out of my personal experience and abiding interests in nature, philosophy, psychology, spirituality,  and literature. Opposing forces and energies have always fascinated me and they, too, find their way into my paintings.
