Artist's Statement

"Snake Eyes" (Diptych) Oil on Canvas, 2020

I believe art builds community. I paint for a future in which art, like music, helps bridge the boundaries which separate us from one another. In this effort, and with age, my work has become simpler and more direct: image and symbol have given way to panels and layers of color. Individually my paintings offer sensations as varied as human voices. Together they are meant to sing.
