OBSERVATION IS NOT AN END, BUT A MEANS.

My work is based on acute observation of the immediate world around me. It employs the traditional means of painting in oil (as well as various drawing media) to produce a highly crafted image which, while it might take a relatively long time to evolve, yet aims to evoke a specific, singular, unredeemable experience. This “experience” is meant to be embodied in the abstract, plastic values of the paintings and drawings and is their true subject matter.
