Artist's Statement

I am interested in history, in one layer seen through another. Sometimes years pass between layers. I care about touch. I want evidence of the human. I am primarily an abstract artist, but I draw the figure, drew my mother in her last year, and paint myself as I age.

“Between 1989 and 2006, I worked on large scale paintings off the stretcher. I just finished work on a book about this work, some of which was exhibited and purchased by museums, but much of it was never seen. The book, “Then and Now, Now and Then” inspired a new visit to this large scale, improvisatory medium.”
