Tumbling, acrylic on paper, 25"x30", 2006
I am concerned with ordinary things and the extraodinary ways in which the ordinary shapes our lives. My paintings evolve from an introspection, coming out of an awareness, a sense. There is a surrender, an aspiration to a holy moment so to speak. How we perceive and feel, the nebulous space between the physical reality of a given situation, person or place, and the perceptions we carry, the curiosity and non-linear ways of looking at time. This comes up through everyday living, influenced by the forms I see daily, the actions of people in my life, my writing, and is not something I seek out, but rather something that is noticed.
