STATEMENT

I am a storyteller fascinated by the human psyche. The figure with its body language and expression offers an unlimited resource for narrative. Like an archaeologist with a shovel digging for an artifact, the paintbrush is the tool I have chosen to uncover the human story. Painting in oil gives me the freedom to explore the narrative as it evolves. I can change direction as often as I need to. In fact, the more layers and visible struggle on the canvas, the deeper the story becomes. Beginning with photos, I draw the scene onto the canvas. From there the painting often takes another direction. I am never fully sure what I am looking for. I only know when I am finished that I have found it. My hope is that my paintings will inspire the viewer to look deeper.
