ABSTRACT PAINTINGS
IN ACRYLIC AND MIXED MEDIA

I enjoy working experimentally, pursuing
a winding path of sweeping revisions
toward an often unforeseen outcome.
Evidence of numerous edits are left
peeking through subsequent layers,
inviting forensic examination at close range.

Incorporating a wide variety of techniques,
and with grateful acknowledgement of many
influences, I strive to cultivate a visual
language that is somehow distinctly my own.
