“Without realizing it, my art has become what I always wanted it to be.”

I give myself lots of room to explore the subjects that inspire me. The painting in this show is an abstraction of a landscape that I have returned to again and again.  There is a lot of experimentation and trial and error. I approach a painting without a preconceived idea of what the final work should look like. I am always looking for interesting things and events to occur with the paint as I am working. I thrive on surprise and I rely more on process rather than technique to create my art.
