Artist's statement
Full Artist's statement
I paint the world around me; a yellow lemon on a blue plate, a patterned tablecloth...color excites me, and makes me eager to paint. I strive for rhythm and movement in my paintings. They are loose and sensuous and often have the suggestion of a figure somewhere within. I draw often from the model and that attempt to capture the gesture creeps into my work even if its not meant to be figurative.
