My art develops from idea to image. I deal with both formal and conceptual content, approaching art as it relates to the contemporary experience without denying its historical connection. I keep the content of my work open to interpretation and I have found that almost any idea, as long as it is flexible and allowed to evolve, will provide me with more than adequate inspiration to engage in the process of painting. I feel successful when my art opens a dialogue with the viewer and stimulates them to question their preconceptions.
