Why Paint

I paint to alleviate past pain and to ignite a collective ability to thrive in the present.

I open myself to that which moves through us and I move with it across the canvas.

I pursue the point at which mediocrity is meditative and movement is medicine–where madness preludes magic and mayhem evokes music (click to hear an improvised session on piano).

I connect to the canvas, I connect to our past
I connect to a color, I connect so we can last
I connect and heed the medium as the motion feeds the fast

My job is to cultivate a raw & rhythmic resonance with my work so that our story can unfold and collective experience can be revealed.
