“I believe my work to be a natural successor to Abstract Expressionism: clearly the paintings embody the incendiary and explosive passion that truly IS ME…and those that have characterized the current American movement. When I paint…and in the solitude of my studio… I can feel the energy from my brush to the canvas…my mind processes the WHY….and it goes back to my life experiences…as can be expected. Trauma and healing, light and dark. I paint what I know: I paint what I feel”.
