About my work
My work is in different series.
There's a brief description of each group under the headings in 'Works'.
All the paintings come from time and many processes. They include reflections of natural structures, effects of light, atmospheres, numerous methods of paint application, and experiences of forming and dissolving. Structure and improvisation, the physical and ethereal, and different degrees of focus are recurring elements.
I try to convey many aspects of life - seen and unseen - and feelings of how things form and change. I explore stillness and dynamics, and the intertwining of sameness and differences. I hope you enjoy seeing this work.
