I am a runner. I run for a variety of reasons. It relieves stress. It’s good for my heart. It clears my mind and focuses me. When I run there is a goal, but not a finish. I develop a rhythm and settle into a focused mindset. The world blurs and I disappear, my movements become structured my breathing rhythmic, I coalesce into focus and intention.
We find our way through our personal journeys, our own timelines, much like these paintings, sometimes by stumbling or sometimes by walking forthright and intentionally.


A journey isn’t a journey if you’re not moving, thru or across it. A painting must have a pace, and a timeline of moments must support this pace. A sense of progression will bring you along for this escapade. There will be moments of exciting crescendos and passages of quiet, solitude and contemplation. I strive to balance areas of super fast freefall against blockages, scale shifts will cause you to question where it is you stand in these worlds. These paintings are at speed and quite busy, they still have to go to the store, get a haircut, deal with the traffic, and go to the post office…they will not slow down for you.


My work is informed by a personal history and my observance of it. Memories seem to float to the surface of my mind then dissipate; life seems to coalesce into order and explode into chaos….constantly and repeatedly. My father is fond of saying “the truth is the truth changes”. I find balance in the flow of this pattern and seek it in my paintings.
