ingredients

I see my art as being part scientific process and part self expression. There is nothing that takes the place of moving paint around on the surface of a canvas, board, etc. One of the biggest attractions of going in to the studio is getting lost in the world of color. At the same time, I find that I need a system which gives me a framework for the process, and of course, the system is subject to change as new information arrives as a result of painting. Often times, in a successful series of paintings, the concept that was the inspiration in the beginning no longer applies in the end. The last painting of a series often points in a direction yet to be resolved.
