Artist Statement:
Painting from life has become a ritual for me. Everyday I go somewhere to make a painting without knowing exactly what will happen. I seek an intensity of feeling that comes from being in a particular place at a particular time. I’m creating a body of work that will serve as a time capsule for future generations.
