The images in my paintings are from my daily life, people I know or things that I have experienced in the past. Sometimes I will use a person, place, event or thing as a starting point. In the process the image may or may not become symbolic of a psychological or emotional reality. It is not my intention in most of my work that it become a vision of such a reality. Rather, decisions made in the course of the creation of a piece are dictated by the piece itself and not because I have a predetermined plan. Any other qualities present are by-products of the creative process.
It has bothered me at times that I can never seem to settle into a groove, to establish a consistent "look" or "style" in my work. I guess for now that is my style: not to have one.
