I start each work with an automatic drawing letting the unconscious, free of rational control dictate a beginning. I then use a variety of techniques of chance and with minimal conscious activity until I build an image that is satisfying to me. Each work forms it’s identity through the marring of improvisation and composition build-ing. In this process I believe true, fresh, original drawings aspire from. I make each piece in hopes of a “Living Painting”. One that is open, changing, and have endless possibilities of personal subject matter or visual thinking. The true nature of my pro-cess is to promote the art of play, open possibilities, discovery and limitless freedom.
