Oil paint has been the consistent medium in my paintings, as it tends to be very visceral and a lot about the paint. Most recently, I have included wax and asphalt. My work starts out in an abstract manner and ends up almost always figurative, although I don't work from models. It is important for my process to be able to change and move through time and space, as the painting dictates. The paintings represent a deep resolve of mine to pare back to the core of being; to get lost in it, to share it, to not care where I am going with it, and to give myself over to the bigger than me of it. In painting one is able to explore, the medium is malleable, the history of thought and the battle that goes into the work is sometimes visible on the surface. For me, it’s like a journey, every single painting.
