Art is where thoughts and experiences can be picked apart and tucked away in brush strokes and layers of color. At other times, it is an outlet for challenges and meticulous craft. People, objects are often cut off by the canvas edge as the environment extends beyond the window frame. Life is imitated slightly askew and I illuminate details to make it more believable. I choose the medium best suited to sharing the picture in my head. The images on canvas or paper develop out of a delicate understanding between me and my tools. Each painting that resolves itself in the end is closely followed by the need to start the process again.
